THE House of Representatives has
demanded an extension of the one month duration for the ongoing Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME registration.
The demand for the extension was
part of the resolution contained in the motion sponsored by Danburam
Abubakar Nuhu yesterday.
The House mandated its Committee on
Basic Education and Services to liaise with JAMB on the extension in order to
create more space for prospective applicants.
It said due to the myriad of challenges
prospective applicants faced, the one month period set aside by JAMB should be
extended by another one month.
The House also urged JAMB to deploy
safety equipment at each registration centre to forestall any incident of
stampede due to overcrowding.
The lawmakers further urged JAMB to
specify the requirements, including safety measures, which qualified any centre
to participate in the conduct of the UTME computer-based test.
