Nigeria No Gooder!!! as JAMB Answers not in the options, lament candidates

CANDIDATES WRITING UTME IN ABUJA FILE:

 I dont know how to write this one oh but Some  "over intelligent' and "over high" I Q candidates of the  on-going Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, said aside  the lateness in starting the examination, a bigger challenge was with  the English Language paper as answers to some of the questions were not  made available. 



Miss Basirat Jerah, whose examination center was  at the Yaba College of Technology, said “the examination scheduled to  commerce at 6:30am started by 8:45am as a result of server failure, but  the surprising aspect was that some of the questions on English Language  were wrong as the answers were not in the options given.

 Only God knows  what would become our fate as we pray JAMB officials would consider  this when marking and grading us.”  Collaborating Jerah’s claims is Miss Precious Ogunlele who also wrote  the exam at Yaba College of Technology, who said “Questions 11-20 of  English Language were incorrect as the answers were not on the options.  

We only pray and hope this would be taken into consideration so as not  to negatively affect our scores.”  When contacted, the Public Relations Officer, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin,  said the portion in question is the comprehension part whereby they  have to fill in the gaps.  He said “You know these students are in a hurry to finish and most of  them don’t take their time to go through the questions.

 Even some  candidates in one of the centers I visited pointed out that to me and I  had to explain to them that in comprehension, you have to fill in the  gaps. I can assure you that JAMB didn’t make any mistake when setting  the questions.
