The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday said it would not create any special centre for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the UTME, which will be Computer Base Test (CBT) mode all through, is expected to begin on Monday, Feb. 29.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Head, Media and Information of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, and made available to NAN in Lagos.
According to the statement, the attention of the board was drawn to protests by some alleged prospective candidates in Edo and Lagos states over the closure of the board’s registration portal in preparation to the UTME.
“The board sincerely sympathises with the plight of these prospective candidates. It is indeed the wish of the board that the Nigerian youth desirous of tertiary education are given ample opportunity to register for its examination. This is why it began the sale of its application document in August 2015, which is about seven months ago”.
