Candidates Express Frustration At Registration Centres
Parents and candidates sitting for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) say they are facing multiple challenges at various centres since the commencement of the exercise on Monday, February 3.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had earlier shifted the registration from Jan.31 to allow it to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
The JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement said: “These adjustments came in light of the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the board by the Council for Legal Education.
“Additionally, the board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had used deceptive facilities to be approved, prompting the need for further scrutiny and corrections by disapproving such centres.”
He said the additional time would be used to ensure that all necessary changes were made for a smooth registration process.
However, despite the adjustments, parents and candidates said they are experiencing overcrowding, power outages, and attempts to fleece them by some centres’ staff.
Some of the parents took to different social media to voice out their frustration and the risks and trouble they had to go through to get their wards registered.
