2022 UTME registration: Slow start at CBT centres in Lagos

 

Registration by candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) began on Saturday, with a slow start noticed in some centres visited in Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there were different experiences at some of the registration centres monitored as the exercise kicked off.

At the WAEC Training and Testing Centre (WTTC), one of the centres visited by NAN correspondent, the officials had yet to register any candidate as at noon, following some technical hitches.

Mr Uchehara Uchenna, the Principal Assistant Registrar said all was set for the smooth registration/conduct of the examination at centre.

” We have about 10 candidates waiting to be registered as I speak. On our part, we are set to hit the ground running. All our equipment and facilities had been in top shape even before this period.

We have everything needed for the seamless conduct of this examination, just like it obtained the year before. Our backups, servers, generators and computers are in too shape.

“The registration which started today has experienced some hiccups on the side of JAMB, because as at 12 noon, we were still unable to successfully register even one candidate.

However, the issue was tackled by 1pm and I can assure you that all the candidates who are still around, will be registered before we close for the day.

“These candidates, although, have been coming in in trickles, being the Day 1 of the exercise,” he stated.
