According to him, there is no truth behind such speculations, adding, that some persons whom he narrated as fraudulent elements were behind the development defraud innocent Nigerians especially candidates.
He further added that cut-off marks could only be arrived at with the inputs of critical stakeholders in the education sector scheduled for the forthcoming days.

The board is yet to come up with any cut-off mark for placements into the various tertiary institutions across the country.”
“The cut-off marks cannot be decided upon without the input of critical stakeholders of the education sector.”
