The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has enlisted more than 300,000 candidates for its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in multi week.

"Up until now, we have enlisted more than 300,000 candidates, as at Thursday. 

"We are upbeat there have not been issues on the grounds that up until this point, there is only a modest hole between the quantity of competitors that have procured the e-stick and that of those that have enlisted," he said. 

Catching Challenges 

In the mean time, JAMB has demanded that all competitors with issues of biometrics must head toward Abuja for it to be redressed. 

"I need to emphasize the way that just the Registrar of the board has the sole appropriate to take care of such issues. 

"Any hopeful who may have issues with the catching of his or her fingerprints at their separate purposes of enrollment should descend to our office in Abuja. 

"This will require the CEO to do it without anyone's help, with the end goal of security," Mr Benjamin said. 

This, be that as it may, was in opposition to calls by a few partners encouraging the block to set exceptional focuses in each condition of the nation to handle issues. 

The National Parent Teacher Association of Nigeria (NAPTAN) had contended that asking applicants with biometric issues to venture out the whole distance to Abuja to get such issues dealt with was excessively requesting, refering to perils of transportation, charges, among others. 

Adeolu Ogunbanjo, the second appointee national leader of the affiliation, said that most guardians were scarcely attempting to inspire cash to get their youngsters and wards enlisted. 

Mr Ogunbanjo said that for those with such biometric issues, heading out to Abuja was an extra weight.
