2019 utme jamb introduces biometric verification for candidates

I think there may be some misinformation here.

The 2019 UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) conducted by JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) did not introduce biometric verification for candidates.

However, JAMB has been using biometric verification for some time now. In 2017, JAMB introduced the use of biometric verification for UTME candidates, which involves the use of fingerprint scanning to verify the identity of candidates during the registration process.

The biometric verification process was introduced to prevent impersonation and ensure that only genuine candidates participate in the examination. The process involves the capture of a candidate's fingerprint, which is then used to verify their identity during the examination.

So, to clarify, biometric verification was already in use during the 2019 UTME, but it was not introduced specifically for that year's examination.
