Candidates for this year Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, examination in Kaduna, Northern Nigeria Friday, protested over their inability to write their examination in the various centers earmarked for them.

The candidates marched to the JAMB office expressing their dismay over the manner this year JAMB registrtion was conducted.

The candidates also blocked JAMB’s office located along Tafawa Balewa Way as they also took their complaints to the head office.

The protesters also went ahead to block the entrance of the gate preventing vehicles from going in and out of the head office as they chanted various slogans‎, “We no go gree ooo, we no go gree, JAMB resheduled our exams.”

Also the candidates claimed they were unable to process their registration at the Computer Based Test centres (CBTs), due to insufficient facilities, lack of network and power supply.

They explained the hard time they went through in Kaduna just to write their examination and urged the federal government to revert to the old system of registration.

‎Speaking to newsmen, Paul Adoyi, a JAMB candidate from Benue State said he was disappointed in the manner JAMB conducted this year exercise.

“I came all the way from Benue State since on Friday last week with the intention to write my exams on saturday to my surprise, till date, l am yet to write,” he said.

According to him it was better JAMB revert to the old method as Nigeria is not ripe for the present system.

‎All efforts to get JAMB official to speak on the issue prove abortive as none of them was around to comment.
