The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has listed 16 items including eye glasses and wrist watches that will not be allowed into the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) hall
JAMB UTME Monitoring groups secretary, Ngozi Egbuna, made the disclosure in a memo to some civil society groups which will participate in the monitoring of the examination, Vanguard reports.
The board however, stated that eye grasses worn by candidates on medical grounds would be thoroughly scrutinized by invigilators to ensure they were not for ulterior motives.
The memo read: “Kindly note that examination officials are allowed to scrutinise eye glasses or similar devices and where convinced that such item may compromise the sanctity of the examination, the examination official should confiscate it.
“Where examination official (board staff or ad hoc staff) or any authorised person is found with any of these prohibited items in the examination hall, such compromising action would be treated as a deliberate act of examination sabotage and necessary sanction will be applied.
The prohibited items includes:
1. Wrist watches
2. Pen/biro
3. Mobile phones or similar electronic devices,
4. Spy reading glasses which should be scrutinised
5. Calculators or similar electronic devices

Mohamed Salah has no interest in joining Real Madrid this summer, reports in Spain claim. Salah had a sensational season under Jurgen Klopp this year, with the Egypt international netting 44 goals in all competitions. The former Chelsea ace has been tipped to leave Anfield this summer, despite only joining the Reds last year. Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing the 25-year-old, who won the Premier League Golden Boot this season. However, according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Salah will not join Real this summer. They say the Egypt star has no intention of heading to the Bernabeu. Diario Gol add that Salah has not forgiven Real captain Sergio Ramos for injuring him in the Champions League final last month - and the winger wants revenge.
