The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board on Wednesday said candidates are allowed to do the post-UTME in their first choice institutions.
JAMB’s Public Relations officer, Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement that candidates can do the post-UTME exercise in the institutions, particularly universities to which they were posted by JAMB.
“Following the various public opinions, we have taken two approaches to ease the problems of our candidates,” Mr. Benjamin said.
The universities will soon get the soft copies of the list of candidates that applied to various institutions as first choice.
“We hope this will help the candidates in their endeavour,” Mr. Benjamin said.
He said the voice of the people is the voice of God, adding that this action would go a long way to show that the Board is a responsive organisation which has concern over the feeling of Nigerians.
