But, why did JAMB come up with this Idea of Registering JAMB without using an email Address??

According to JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, candidates’ information are exposed to dubious cyber-cafe operators and other criminal elements who in the course of their UTME/ Direct Entry registration steal email passwords to perpetrate fraud.
