The statement, "you are to be at the center you selected " ... I can't remember the center.

Those that chose Virtual exam are to write the exam online while those that selected a designated centre will visit the venue during the exam to participate in the screening.
Hopefully, the conveners of the exam will allow every candidate participate in the virtual exam in order to adhere to covid-19 protocols.

Seun, you and lalasticlala is currently promoting and fanning the fire of hatred on your platform.
If not, why promote an obvious fake news by this misleading title.

There's only one Ohaneze, just like there's only one Arewa Consultative Forum and Afenifere.

The so called Ohaneze general assembly worldwide is an imposter which CAC publicly disavowed sometime ago for registering under false pretence. The news went wide and was published here too.

Then you guys went ahead to shift this to front page knowing all these things because to hell with all that make sense.
I just dey look una like bat.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has announced the general cut-off mark for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions in the country for 2020/2021 Academic Session.

According to JAMB Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who made this known during the policy meeting on admissions to tertiary institutions in Nigeria on Tuesday, the minimum score for admission seekers into public universities is set at 160 while that of polytechnics is pegged at 120 with that of colleges of education set at 100.

The JAMB Registrar said 612,557 candidates were offered admission in 2019 out of the 1.8m that wrote the examination while about 510,957 admission spaces were unused by tertiary institutions in 2019.

Oloyede, said admission into all universities would be conducted on Central Admission Processing System and that candidates waiting for their results will only be considered when they are uploaded on its website.

In his remarks, the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, who was represented by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, directed JAMB and tertiary institutions to proceed with the conduct of 2020/2021 admissions. He said admission processes are expected to commence in August based on the guidelines released by JAMB.

The minister appealed to JAMB and tertiary institutions to consider candidates with previous years’ Senior School Certificate Examination and other qualifying results for the admission process.

He said the government will make an arrangement to accommodate applicants who will be taking the examination when the opportunity to do so is worked out.

Every detail is spelled out for you. The decision is yours.

The Nigerian Education Ministry has denied reports making the rounds on social media that schools will be reopened for academic activities on Monday, June 8 nationwide.
Details here... https://unninfo.com/2020/05/education-minister-denies-reports-of-schools-resuming-june-8.html

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced that guidelines for the reopening of schools in the country will soon be released as the government gradually eases lock-down embarked upon as a result of the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, who is also the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, made this known in his address on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mustapha asked states, local governments, proprietors and all other stakeholders to begin to take steps that will facilitate an early and safe reopening of schools.

He said, “I wish to inform Nigerians that the Federal Ministry of Education will roll out measures for the self-reopening of schools.

“The Presidential Task Force wishes to use the occasion of this celebration to congratulate our children and assure them, their parents and all stakeholders alike that all hands are on deck to reopen schools at a safe time.

“We, therefore, use this medium to urge states, local governments, proprietors and all other stakeholders to begin to take steps that will facilitate an early and safe reopening.”

EngrBriggs:
No Sir. Not yet

Hello, EngrBriggs.
I sent you a mail.

After painstakingly reading the comments made so far on this post, I confirmed my earlier thought.

We have a lot of "exposed" illiterate young people in Nigeria.

Also, most of them knows nothing about football. Just the 90mins they see on TV while cursing out majority of the time... Smh

This menace needs to be stopped. We need a stricter sanction on those desecrating our academic environment.

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) Management has suspended no fewer than fifteen (15) members of staff for their alleged involvement in various cases of job, admission racketeering and sexual harassment.

This was disclosed in a statement released by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the university, Chief (Dr) Okwun Omeaku, on Friday in Nsukka.

According to Omeaku, the suspension is a bold statement of the current university administration’s zero tolerance for corruption, misconduct and amoral behaviours among staff and students.

He said the administration of Prof. Charles Igwe will not fail to take decisive action on any staff or student whose action will drag the hallowed image of the university to the mire.

The PRO also warned that the eagle is still watching and many people are on the radar and more actions will be taken on those found wanting.

And my comment was deleted. Proved my point that this was a paid advertisement.

Like I said in that comment, alot of projects needs urgent attention in the state. The projects when completed will do the praise singing on its own.

The governors that left with the president for Japan are governors of Borno, Kwara and Lagos.

UNN does not require birth certificate for Post UTME screening. During clearance, if eventually her name comes out in the admission list, birth certificate will be needed for her file. Doesn't necessarily mean they will screen her out because there are alot of candidates who got admission in UNN under 16 years old.

Don't even contemplate falsifying her age on birth certificate at this time. It's already captured in WAEC database. The discrepancy will be an issue after graduation and NYSC.

Also the online registration will end on Thursday, August 22, 2019. Cc: Lalasticlala

Peter Obi and Figures: the issue of cars on Nigerian Roads

Mr. Peter Obi is attracted to figures as bees are to honey. It is one area he does not go wrong. As the Governor, he had four different sizes of calculators on his table. It was common to see him correcting innocent errors of figures on memos submitted to him, especially those above what they should be. As for those below what they should be, he took them as part of saving money for the state.

A few months ago, he quoted the number of out-of-school children in Nigeria, whereupon the Presidency accused him of bandying wrong figures. He went to the extent of quoting UBEC as his source. The controversy raged until I published the link where the UBEC boss gave that figure.

Yesterday, he said that Nigeria had 2m+ cars on the road. Some people questioned the figure, showing us the records from Bureau of Statistics. Obi was talking of number of active vehicles plying our roads and not those parked in the houses or elsewhere.

Many rich Nigerians have over 15 vehicles parked in their houses out of which they put an average of three on the road. Many vehicles are still uncleared in the wharfs, many are in the market seeking buyers. 2m+ are actively on the roads.

Peter Obi is very correct in the figure that he gave.
