Candidates in Imo State missed their rescheduled UTME after JAMB changed exam centres with only hours to go, sparking widespread outrage.
- JAMB issued a 24-hour notice for the May 16 UTME in Imo, then altered venue hours before.
- Many students arrived at the original centres only to learn the test was moved and already over.
- Parents and students described the process as disorganised, costly, and deeply unfair.
Parents like Mr. Nwachukwu, who paid ₦10,000 to get his son to the exam on time, say the experience was traumatic. Candidates travelled from distant states, only to meet confusion and closed gates, leaving many disillusioned with the system.
Will JAMB address the chaos and offer another chance to affected candidates, or leave them behind in a system meant to shape their futures?
