The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it has delisted 25 computer-based test centres from the list of centres scheduled to take part in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).
The examination kicked off nationwide on Saturday.
The examination body stated that the action is to ensure strict adherence to regulatory standards amongst its partners.
JAMB stated that the move followed the centres’ non-compliance to the laid-down procedures and the difficulties encountered by candidates posted to the centres to sit the examination on Saturday.
