Interacting with candidates waiting to get register at the JKK Computer Centre along Ikorodu Road, the Registrar was told by two of the candidates that the affected vendors overcharged them by N800 extra.
The male and female candidates informed the Registrar that the vendor charged them N6,500 against the approved N5,700 by JAMB.
He warned vendors not to toy with ongoing registration,saying any vendor caught involved in sharp practices will be suspended from further participation in 2023 registration exercises.
He implored all eligible candidates to take advantage of the one month for registration to do so, saying there will be no extension.
