Applicants
for the registration of JAMB’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
stranded in front of Digital Bridge Institute at Utako, Abuja yesterday
The
House of Representatives yesterday demanded an extension of the one month
period for the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)
registration exercise.
The
House said due to the myriad of challenges prospective applicants face, the one
month period set aside by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
should be extended by another month.
Adopting
a motion by Rep Danburam Abubakar Nuhu (APC, Kano), the House mandated its
Committee on Basic Education and Services to liaise with JAMB on the extension
in order to create more space for prospective applicants.
The
House also urged JAMB to deploy safety equipment at each registration centre to
forestall any incident of stampede due to overcrowding.
The
lawmakers further urged JAMB to specify the requirements, including safety
measures which qualify any centre to participate in the conduct of the UTME
computer-based test.
