120 Prison Inmates Set To Write 2017 UTME

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says 120 prison inmates will sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) on Saturday.

The Registrar of the board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this at a news conference on Friday in Abuja.

Oloyede also said that the UTME examination scheduled for Saturday May 13 has not been postponed, that the examinations would still hold as scheduled except for those that have Seven Days Adventist service.

He therefore advised candidates to ignore rumors that the examination has been postponed, saying candidates writing the examination tomorrow should not fail to attend. He said;

“Candidates should be aware of fraudsters who hide under cyber cafe operators to defraud innocent children. 

“We have caught some of them while mischievously collecting money from candidates with the help of some security officers,’’
