UTME: You will get your examination centres before exam date, JAMB assures candidates

Abuja – The Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has advised candidates for
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) not to panic over the delay in getting
their examination centres.


Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Media and
Information of the board gave the advice in a
telephone interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja.


Benjamin said although the crosschecking of
prospective candidates data would end by 9p.m
on Saturday none of them has been given
examination centre.


He said that candidates would be given their
examination centres before the examination
date.


“Candidates are just concluding their
registrations, so no one has received centre for
the examination starting from May 13.
“Hopefully by next week they will start getting
their centres, so there is no cause for worry,”
he said.


He, nevertheless, urged all the UTME
candidates to always check their emails for
further updates.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board
said it had so far registered more than 1.7
million candidates for the 2017 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination across the country.

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’. In a statement on Monday published on its website, Ofcom stated that the caution followed an investigation into the matter. The statement read in part, “Our investigation found that a report on Loveworld News included unsubstantiated claims that 5G was the cause of the pandemic, and that this was the subject of a ‘global cover-up’. “Another report during the programme suggested hydroxychloroquine as a ‘cure’ for Covid-19, without acknowledging that its effectiveness and safety as a treatment was clinically u...

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