Candidates commmend JAMB in Enugu

Some candidates in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Enugu, have applauded the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for organising a hitch-free examination in the state.

The candidates told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Tuesday after their examination, that JAMB provided a relatively good arrangement, which would boost their chances of excelling.

Miss Gloria Agu, a candidate at the Federal Government College (FGC) centre, told NAN that the examination was stress-free, adding that there was adequate security.

“JAMB technicians were able to fix the power surge challenge we had initially before the start of our CBT-based exam.

“As the centre got the link to the question site, all the individual devices accessed it and the examination started with no other delay,’’ she said.

Master Anthony Eke, a candidate, who took his exam at God Provide Secondary School Centre at Amechi, Enugu, said that the candidates enjoyed a peaceful atmosphere.

“There were enough technicians to take care of our complaints before the start of the examination. This is a plus and I must commend JAMB and Nigeria in general for this feat,” he said.

Another candidate, Master Obinna Okeke, lauded JAMB for a stress-free procedure as well as adopting a CBT system that could work anywhere.

Okeke said that the success recorded would ensure transparency and quick release of the result.

“It is okay. I pray that my result will be a success since the examination itself was stress-free,’’ he said.

NAN reports that more than 1.7 million candidates are sitting the examination which commenced on Saturday across the country.

Candidates write the examination in batches each day at the various designated CBT-examination centres nationwide.

A total of 642 centres are being used for the examination with at least two members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in each of the centres.

In all, a total of 1,200 men of the NSCDC had been deployed to all the centres to beef up the security.
