In case you missed it
- It can be recalled that JAMB rescheduled the UTME examination, which was initially planned to hold between June 5 and June 19, to June 19 to July 3 in order to accommodate candidates who, largely due to issues related to the newly introduced pre-requisite of National Identification Number (NIN), could not register for the exam.
- The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the main examinations will hold between June 19 and July 3.
- The examination body also shifted the date for the mock examination from May 20, 2021, to June 3, 2021.
