The Nation Newspaper JAMB: 577 blind candidates to write 2024 UTME
The 2024 UTME examination will commence on Friday 19 in over 700 CBT centres nationwide and end on April 29.
Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede set up the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group in 2017 for effective handling of blind candidates and others with special needs. “With a total of 577 blind candidates, the 2024 UTME presents the highest number. We had 348 in 2022, and 313 in 2023. The 2024 increase is largely due to increased advocacy by JEOG, a process which will be bolstered in the coming years.”
The former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission said the other five “goodies” that Oloyede has been showering on the candidates since 2017 are- free hotel accommodation for the blind candidates and their guides, free Braille slate and stylus, customised t-shirts; free meals through the examination period and transport supplementation for the blind candidates and their guides.Okebukola added: “This is why I have nominated Professor Oloyede for the CNN Heroes Award.
