The Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Monday said it will move candidates scheduled to write their examination
at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, LAUTECH in Ogbomoso, to
Ilorin, due to students’ protest.
The UTME candidates
scheduled to use the LAUTECH campus Computer Based Test (CBT) centre were
prevented from gaining access to the school to write their examination
scheduled for Monday morning.
The protesting
students reportedly shut the school gate by 5am after the student leaders held a meeting following ongoing crisis
in the institution.
They were demanding
for a comprehensive academic calendar before new students are being admitted to
the school.
Reacting to the
mayhem JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin told newsmen that the board was
concluding arrangements to reschedule the exams for the affected candidates to
Ilorin.
'We will reschedule
them. Even though it’s not our problem, it’s the school’s problem, but they are
our candidates.
There is no private
centre in Ogbomosho and the closest centre to Ogbomosho is Ilorin. This
disruption happened today and we need to do some technical arrangements first.
'So, no date has been
fixed yet. But we are going to write the exams in Ilorin except if LAUTECH
resolves the students unrest', he added.
