Breaking : FG scraps post UTME as JAMB begs cut-off at 180

If JAMB is qualified enough to conduct tests and they have conducted test then there will be no need to conduct another test for students to gain admission.” He also asked the JAMB to stop extra charges on several categories of changes on admissions such as the change of course, change of school and others…. like change of username and password….
