Cursory: A Nigerian mother, voiced concerns on X, alleging a JAMB registration center staff breached her daughter’s data protection rights by using the associated phone number to contact her. JAMB responded, assuring an investigation and commitment to addressing data privacy breaches.
A Nigerian mother, Iphie, has taken to her X account to criticize the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for an alleged violation of her daughter’s data protection rights.
She claimed that an employee at a JAMB registration center contacted her using the phone number she had used to create her daughter’s JAMB profile.
Expressing her frustration on X, she voiced concerns about the actions of the staff member and questioned the privacy of her daughter’s data.
Expressing her frustration in a series of X posts on Saturday, she said, “I don’t know what goes on in the heads of Nigerian men that makes them so stupid.
“Took Jaya to the CBT center to register for JAMB today, I used my number to set up her profile and now one of the staff from the center is chatting me up thinking I’m Jaya. He’s going to FAFO!
“Lol. This guy is committing so many criminal offenses at once it’s crazy. He’s still chatting with me.“He says he got her number from the system after she registered and left cos he couldn’t help himself.
“JAMB where are my daughter’s data protection rights?”
The examination body, in response, assured her that it does not tolerate any breach of data privacy. JAMB committed to investigating the matter, ensuring the safety of her daughter’s data, and taking decisive action against the culprit and any accomplices.
The examination body said, “Thank you for this information. The Board as a regulatory agency does not condone any form of unwholesome practice that would bring its integrity to disrepute.
“You can rest assured that your ward’s information on our database is safe and intact and that the culprit and his accomplices will be decisively brought to book.
“Kindly DM the details of the CBT Centre and the phone number in question for further investigation or visit any JAMB office nearby to lodge a formal complaint.
