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

The Office of Communications, the regulatory authority for the broadcasting and telecommunications industries in the United Kingdom, has sanctioned Loveworld Limited, operators of  LoveWorld,  a religious cable channel, for airing “unsubstantiated claims linking the pandemic to 5G technology”. The television network owned by the Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was also penalised for feeding viewers with the claim that coronavirus is a ‘global cover-up’.

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. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...
