Ahead of 2017 UTME, JAMB issues important notice for direct entry candidates

Ahead of the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination, the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) says that direct entry
candidates will be required to sit for a school-based
aptitude test and not UTME.
Head of Information at JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, on
Monday, April 3, said: “Direct Entry candidates will
attempt an aptitude test which is school-based. They are
not sitting for the UTME. The test is from the
universities.
''The new book we introduced will be used by Direct
Entry candidates for the aptitude tests that will be
conducted by the universities. Students with
matriculation numbers of universities are not eligible to
sit for the UTME. If they are not satisfied with their
chosen disciplines, they can ask for transfer.’’
  TEANAIJA recalls that JAMB stated it was not going to
extend the registration period , saying that before
deadline every candidate will REGISTERED The spokesman observed that some applicants were
seeking extension of the UTME registration deadline
due to irregularities in the ongoing registration
process.
According to him, it is wrong for any person to also
think that there is inadequacy in the number of
centres stipulated to register candidates for the UTME

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at.
