Image
Good day, Board of directors, Staff, Workers and Registrar of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,His honourable, Prof. Oleyede. As one of the candidates that participated in the recently conducted Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, I am using this opportunity to express my grief caused solely by the delay in the release of 2019 UTME Results. The delay in the release of the said results has tghrown me into indecisiveness due to the fact that the result will determine so many things in my life... Jamb, don't you have adequate staff? Whether yes or no, how many days should we wait for? Currently, I don't know whether to make payment for the new charges we're to pay in this semester or to start preparing for the post utme. Jamb, you've deposited so many candidates in a locus of equivocality. Today is Friday and we're earnestly expecting the results. Thank you. Concerned Candidate

JAMB to Investigate Every UTME Candidate from 2009-2019 for Malpractice

Image
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has launched an investigation into the credentials of applicants dating back to 2009. This means that every single candidate who took UTME within the last 10 years will be scrutinized. Persons who cheated the system successfully, and went on to secure admission and may have even graduated will face prosecution and their certificates will be withdrawn.  This was disclosed by JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Fabian Benjamin, during an interview with Punch on Monday. He said the probe had begun and it would be completed in a short time as JAMB had acquired software to identify fake biometric data.  Benjamin said, “ If you graduated from university and you did not take UTME, it means the foundation is faulty and the building cannot stand. We have already started the probe but we will go deeper after the exams."    “ It will not take too long. We are using software, so it will just check t...

Ondo Varsity (AAUA) Shuts Down Over Rioting Students

Image
Students of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA) in Ondo State Wednesday protested over what they described as “obnoxious” policy of the school management. Reports say that students were protesting the ‘No School Fee, No Test’ order by the management. As a result, the management of the University has directed the students to vacate the campus and proceed on a Mid Semester break, a move which it considered necessary to avoid any breakdown of law and order within the campus and school community. The statement by the school Register, Dr Sunday Ayeerun said; “The Management of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State, has approved a Mid-Semester break for all students of the University.All students of the university are, therefore, advised to proceed on the Mid-Semester break with immediate effect." “Students are to resume to campus on Monday, May 20."

HOW I BECAME AN 'A' STUDENT: An article written by the best Graduating Student Kaduna State University

Image
“How I became an ‘A’ student” is a comprehensive story told by a student, who through hard work and dedication, has proved that nothing is impossible in life. The reader will find out that in life, nobody is to blame if one does not succeed. Please find the attached PDF on this publication, and download it for free. The writer, having dedicated his life fully to God and his faith and put into practice what he was taught about life came out as the overall best graduating student. In this article, Ededa states issues confronting students and proffers solution to these issues. He perfectly addressed issues on bad association, discipline, exam malpractice and the misconception of being a genius without hard work. Given the quality of the issues addressed in this book, I strongly recommend this book to students at all levels of education as a guide to being academically successful.
