The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said the sale of application forms for the 2018 United Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), has been postponed.

This was revealed in a statement on Tuesday, signed by the Board’s Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin.


According Benjamin, the sale of the application documents, which was scheduled to start on November 22, suffered delay due to the publishers’ inability to print the 1.8 million copies of the forms before the deadline.

“This postponement was due to the delay in meeting agreed deadline by the publisher of the Compulsory Reading Text meant for prospective candidates for the 2018 UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations).

“The publisher had promised to deliver all the texts for the 2018 candidates on or before November 7 but as at close of work today, the publisher has not provided the 1.8 million copies required.

“This development has painfully forced the Board to shift the date from Wednesday, November 22 to a date to be announced soon,” he said.


Benjamin added that a new date would be announced soon and urged intending applicants to visit its website and familiarise themselves with the application procedures.

“All reforms and the process of registration have been made very friendly and easy for candidates desirous of applying for the 2018 exercise.

“The advertisement when out will explain step by step the processes of obtaining the application e-pins and registration,” Benjamin concluded.

We too have lost confidence in the presidency, yet we still support some of its programme. The entire report can't be that bad. Choose what to implement and leave the rest for the next administration.

Both infrastructure and welfare deficit.

That's tragic.

This song just reduced him to Solidstar level.

RIP to the dead.
Government should look at those lines. I had always crossed those lines carelessly, esp at Ikeja, because I hardly believe they are still in use until I saw a train coming from a far.
...and again commuters should also desist from sitting on top of train abeg.

...and meanwhile some people are worried about crismas shoe.

Finally. His excesses were becoming intolerable.
I hope and they better make sure the West is not involved, else they'll regret it fast...and if not, this is a coup/takeover I totally support.

I blame the organizers.

The military has denied any coup attempt. Says president is safe.

I'm already seeing it as a weapon. Its looking like the sling David used to defeat Goliath.

It has happened. His excesses were becoming intolerable.

Celebrations broke out across Australia after a two-month national postal survey came out "overwhelmingly" in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage.

Results released Wednesday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed 61% of the population voted to allow same-sex marriage, with 38% voting against.

Rainbow-colored smoke, confetti and cheers erupted in the center of Melbourne following the announcement, where hundreds of people had gathered to hear the result.
When couple Jane Mahoney, 28, and Josie Lennie, 26, heard the result they collapsed into each others' arms in tears. "(Now) we need to save and also gets lots of fun ideas from the other gay weddings," they told CNN.

More than 12.7 million people across the country, or 79.5% of the population, took part in the survey with every state and territory returning a majority "yes."

Celebrations, singing and tears greeted the announcement in Melbourne.
It's the beginning of the end of a long-running campaign to allow marriage equality in Australia, something already legal in the majority of English-speaking countries worldwide.

Speaking after the result, Australia Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said it had been an "overwhelming" response in favor of "yes" and called for same-sex marriage to be legalized before Christmas.
"They voted 'yes' for fairness, they voted 'yes' for commitment, they voted 'yes' for love. And now it is up to us here in the Parliament of Australia to get on with it," he told reporters in Canberra.

Opposition Labor Party leader Bill Shorten told the Melbourne rally the postal vote itself should never have happened.

This all happened because of you.

"I feel for young people who had their relationships questioned in a way I wouldn't have thought we would see ever again, but nevertheless what this marriage equality survey shows is that unconditional love always has the last word," he said.
Politicians are expected to begin discussing the specifics of the same-sex marriage bill as early as this week.
However, even ahead of the release of the results, conservative politicians inside the Australian parliament were preparing for a fight over how marriage equality would be legalized.

Prominent supporters of same-sex marriage celebrated the decision. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce danced on stage in Sydney with author and actor Magda Szubanski, and urged Turnbull to "get on with it."

Australian Olympic champion Ian Thorpe warned conservative politicians against delaying the legislation.

"(The result) spells it out loud and clear ... If they play around with this issue any longer, it will be at their peril," he told reporters Wednesday morning.

'We didn't want the vote'

Australia's LGBT community was strongly against the idea of a national vote on same-sex marriage from the first time it was announced, fearing a bitter, divisive campaign.

A group of same-sex marriage advocates even took the government to Australia's High Court in an attempt to stave off the survey. Their case was dismissed in an unanimous decision.
The two-month campaign was marred by harsh rhetoric and wild allegations of the consequences of a "yes" vote. Rainbow flags were sprayed with Nazi symbols in Brisbane while "no" advertisements claimed same-sex marriage would lead to "radical gay sex" education in schools.

Speaking after the "yes" result on Wednesday, Jacob Coleman, 28, and his husband Damien O'Mara, 29, said they still believed the survey was "wrong."
"We didn't want the vote in the first place but we are so happy to have this win for our friends and the whole community," Coleman told CNN.

"The vote has helped to speed up the process but the true lesson here is that the process is wrong." Coleman and O'Mara were married in Scotland two years ago.
Australians long in favor of marriage equality
Australians have long been in favor of marriage equality, but multiple governments have maintained they wanted to keep the traditional definition in law.

In 2015, under pressure from moderates in his Liberal party to take action, then-Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced there would be a national vote, or plebiscite, to decide whether marriage equality should be legislated.

He was unable to get funding to hold the plebiscite after legislation was blocked twice in the Australian senate. Abbott's successor, Turnbull, announced in August a national postal vote would be held.

It was one way to get around the funding issue, as the survey was run by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, removing the need for parliamentary approval.
Voting opened on September 12 and Australians who had registered to vote had until November 7 to return their surveys.

Finally.

Baggers.

Una try well well

FG will lose this one for sure.

I fear the problem of the North East may linger and remain like that of the Middle East.
Tensions only die down to resurface with more brazen/shocking attacks.

All na joke.

Wonderful.
Still better compared to Ben Ayade's over 5,000 aides.
But please let no bagger come and quote this entire post o.

Yeah...NK lost it. He should have fought for the release of other IPOB members detained with him.
Instead he decided to bask and wallow in the pomp of a somewhat regal sovereign.
When I watch the Catalan agitation, I begin to see the IPOB versions as a farce.

No need, he's already doing that.

They're just living up to their ranking as the world's worst Force.

The most useless Governor in the East.

Gazaliah:
Can water corporation bill be used?
Since its also a utility bill

Yeah...its a utility bill.
...as long as it has an address on it.

SC- Sickle Cell, now you wanna get married to an AS. Your case as an SC is just a rare one. Don't bring children into this world to suffer please, because your chance of not having one is 25%.

Probably they're deciding to enforce stricter compliance. Its been there before, especially with diesel engine owners.
I call it madness. Very brainless governors we've had since Donald Duke left. The only state with 2 professors as Gov. and Dep. Gov., yet all achievements are just on paper.
