The occurrence has triggered mixed reactions on Twitter with many users wondering why the board could not engage the services of a graphic designer instead.

“That tweet from JAMB is the exact reflection of what happens in civil service. Do things anyhow. Everything jaga jaga. Such lackadaisical attitude and approach to work. What is worth doing is worth doing well abeg,” a user wrote.

“JAMB makes roughly about N7,000,000,000 yearly, yet they couldn’t afford a graphic designer to help them design an official post. Instead they passed an official information using WhatsApp screenshot, using different colour…,” another user wrote.
