The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board ( JAMB )
has postponed the mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME ), which was scheduled to hold
today.
JAMB registrar , Prof Is’ haq Oloyede , said in a
statement: “Meanwhile , the Mock Examination earlier
slated for Saturday, April 8, 2017 has been put on hold .
“This is because the appropriate rehearsal and test -
running of the new system has been substantially
achieved. The plan was to trial -test the readiness of
our facilities and address the challenges that may likely
confront the main examination.
“The Mock Examination remains free for willing
candidates , even the fee due to the CBT centre Owners
are being paid by JAMB . No cost to the candidates
“At this moment, we have realized that the plan to hold
this Mock Examination was good for us. We are now in
a better position to achieve better than we would have
done without this trial testing. This is why the exercise
is at no cost to the candidates .
“It is our strong conviction that this exercise is an
experience for us. Our systems analysis has revealed
interesting findings that will engender a seamless and
successful 2017 UTME exercise. ”

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...
