By the 14thday of this month, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, confirmed the speculated extension of both the registration and examination dates of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The registration exercise that was to end on May 15 was extended by two weeks. The Registrar ate his earlier word that the mock examination date would not be changed when it was shifted from the earlier scheduled May 28 to June 3. The UTME slated for between June 5 and 19 was changed to between June 19 and July 3. And what was the cause of this ruckus that gave birth to this riot of dates? It was the result of the complication that followed the inability of many candidates to register for the UTME, owing to their failure to secure their National Identity Number, NIN.
