Challenges Faced by Candidates in Jigawa
Despite the registration efforts, candidates in Jigawa faced significant difficulties, with many waiting for up to two or three days before being registered due to the limited number of centers. Some of these candidates were stranded, sleeping in mosques and on the streets as they waited for their registration slots.
In light of these challenges, the candidates have urged the Jigawa State Government to establish additional centers to alleviate the burden, as the current 12 centers are insufficient to meet the needs of all applicants.
