The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has barred parents from the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination centres. This is as the body also said applicants between 14 and 15-year-old are not qualified to take the examination. JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, was quoted as saying this in a statement obtained by our correspondent on Friday. The PUNCH had reported that the 2021 UTME and Direct Entry registration began on April 8 and would end on May 15. Oloyede was said to have taken the decision after inspecting some of the registration centres in Kwara, which were overcrowded.
