       Although JAMB has expressed ultimate confidence in the system,
       many candidates have expressed their fears in the ability of
       JAMB’s staff to carry out the biometric exercise effeciently, as
       well as the possiblity that the gadgets themselves could
       malfunction, resulting in the affected candidates being
       disallowed from taking the exam.The biometric identfication
       verification technology adopted by JAMB is that of fingerprint
       verification, which has a number of flaws like how fingerprint
       recognition on the scanner can be affected by the slightest
       offset for a fraction of a millimetre, a change in pressure,
       skin damage and some other circumstances that affect the
       resulting image. Consequently, the scans of the same finger or
       face will always be different.
       However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,JAMB in an
       attempt to allay the fears of candidates over biometric
       verification, has said that the capturing of candidate’s ten
       fingers have made it impossible to record disappointment during
       biometric verification.
       Dr Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Media, explained that the
       board chose to use the whole ten fingers instead of just one, to
       serve as backup in case of failure.
       He asked stakeholders not to panic over possible failure in the
       biometric verification, insisting that it was not possible for
       any candidate’s whole ten fingers captured to fail the biometric
       verification.His said, “You know, we are capturing ten fingers
       and we believe that ten fingers are sufficient enough for any
       backup in the biometric verification.”
