Standup9ja: 357 prison inmates to write UMTE — JAMB
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says out
of the 1.7 million candidates that will sit for UTME examinations on Saturday,
357 are prison inmates.
Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of the board, disclosed
this at a news conference on Friday in Abuja.
Oloyede also said that the UTME examination scheduled for
May 13 has not been postponed.
He, therefore, advised candidates to ignore rumors that the
examination has been postponed, saying candidates writing the examination
tomorrow should not fail to attend.
He enjoined the candidates to go to their respective centres
for the examination.
The registrar said that the examinations would still hold as
scheduled except for those that have Seven Days Adventist service.
He also advised UTME candidates to always check their
e-mails for further updates, noting that some candidates are fond of giving out
their passwords and e-mail addresses to strangers in spite of several warnings
from the board.
“Candidates should be aware of fraudsters who hide under
cyber cafe operators to defraud innocent children.
“We have caught some of them while mischievously collecting
money from candidates with the help of some security officers,’’ he said.
