The speculation was debunked by the board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Lagos.
In the statement, Mr Benjamin stated that the Registrar of the examination body, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, was disappointed with the development and has called on Nigerians to ignore the claims.
The statement read in part, “The public is hereby notified that JAMB has not commenced the sales of its application documents as advertised by some unknown and desperate persons.
“They are to disregard any website or individuals claiming to be in possession of these documents and offering same for sales.
“We are putting finishing touches to innovation and changes to ease the challenges associated with the procedure of application for the 2017 all Computer-Based Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
“We are looking forward to announcing the commencement of the sales of these documents very soon,’’
The statement advised the public to feel free to contact the board for clarification on its activities through its website or contact numbers whenever they were in doubt.
