This year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination will begin on February 29, the authorities of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have announced.


Over one million candidates will sit for examination, which the board said, would last for seven days.


JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who confirmed this in an interview with one of our correspondents on Tuesday, added the board would use about 500 Internet-complaint centres in the country for the Computer-based Test.


The examination, he added, would hold in seven other centres outside Nigeria.


According to him, the centres are in the United Kingdom, Ghana, Cameroon, Republic of Benin, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Ethiopia.


The board, earlier, in a statement, on Tuesday, urged candidates to print their examination notification from February 18, noting that it had completed arrangements for a smooth conduct of the test.


It added, “Candidates are urged to print their examination notification from Thursday, February 18, 2016 for the schedules of their examination. The notification contains their date, time of examination and venue. Candidates are to adhere strictly by these schedules, as there will be no rescheduling of any examination if a candidate misses his/her date or time of examination.”


“They are to be in their various centres 30 minutes before their time. Again candidates are advised to check their schedules properly as JAMB will not condone any excuse in the event of candidate missing his or her time and date of examination.


“Candidates are to also note that they can visit JAMB accredited Computer-Based Centre or any cybercafé to print their slip or any place of their choice. It could be done at their homes.”


In the 2015 UTME, no fewer than 1.5million candidates sat for the examination in about 400 centres.


The exercise, which experienced initial technical challenges, lasted for 10 days.

Thanks to everyone that has commented on this thread... Yes, it's a special day for me.. I appreciate and thank you all..

The Supreme Court on Monday adduced reasons for affirming Udom Emmanuel of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as validly elected governor of Akwa Ibom.

Justice Chima Nweze, who gave the reasons, said that the decision of the lower court was a mis-judgment based on only facts and not on the provisions of the laws.

Nweze said the decisions of the lower court swayed the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the use of card readers for the election.

He further held that the lower court denied the governor fair hearing.

“From the study of the evidence brought before us Udom Emmanuel won the highest lawfully cast votes.

“This has placed the court to set aside the judgments of the two lower courts as the other parties challenging his victory could prove otherwise.

“The lower courts were wrong to have cancelled elections in 18 and subsequently the entire 31 Local Government Areas of the state on the basis of non-compliance,’’ he held.

“While we commend the introduction of the card readers, the innovation, however, cannot supersede the voters register.

“The extant laws of the federation provides for the use of voters register but the card reader irrespective of its importance does not have a place in any extant law of the land,’’ Nweze held.

Nweze, therefore, held that the tribunal was wrong to base it judgment on non-compliance with the use of card readers.

On allegation of violence and irregularities during the election, Nweze said Umana Umana and the All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to prove the allegations.

“The two respondents were not able to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt because they failed to bring witnesses from all the polling units to substantiate their claims,’’ Nweze said.

Nweze held that to prove non-accreditation, the respondents ought to have tendered the voters register and then demonstrate it how it was abused.

“I do align myself to earlier decision of the apex court that the provision of the law recognizes the voters register as the only key element to conduct any elections,” he said.

While noting that INEC had power to make subsidiary regulations regarding conduct of election, Nweze held that the regulations must conform to constitutional provisions.

Nweze held that the extant laws did not give room for arbitrary nullification of an election.

“Petitioners have got to prove that there was substantial non-compliance in all polling units before we could take such allegation serious,” he said.

The Court of Appeal in Abuja had nullified the Akwa Ibom governorship election of April 11.

The governor’s election was challenged by the APC and its candidate, Umana.

At the election tribunal, the governor secured partial victory, as it ordered a rerun in 18 out of the state’s 31 local government areas.

The governor challenged the ruling, insisting he won in all 31 local government areas, but the Court of Appeal went on to nullify the entire election.

Justices Mary Peter-Odili and Clara Ogunbiyi had hinged on the above reasons to justify the return of Delta,Yobe and Oyo States governors.

You are speaking utter rubbish. What does climate change has to do with geographical location of Nigeria?
You better go and demand for a refund of your fees in school as your education obviously was of inferior quality.

Your comment up there can only earn you a smashing of your balls with sledge hammer.

He/she is right. The 5-year tenure of all of the VCs of the 12 Universities would expire on 16th February, 2016. Most of them had already rounded up their activities and are prepared to hand over. So there is absolutely no need to sensationalize the news.

This is absolutely over doing it. Yes, we know PMB is a sack-sack President. But, on this one, he's absolutely innocent...

But the Rule 2 is controversial because however protective it may seem, you have to realise that there are comments that are nauseating (to say the least) which attracts rash reactions.

You & I know what became of our dear Nigeria under the big nose of that Otuoke buffoon & to wish he was still our President would be suicidal.

Let me use this chance to enjoin you to think properly before you post comments as it's not only your ilk reading comments on NL.

No love lost.
