The candidates speak on their experiences.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has organised the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination for visually-impaired candidates in Enugu State, Nigeria’s south-east.
Mr Onuoha, a retired professor of geology at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, said the JAMB registrar kick-started the programme across the country in 2017 after creating JAMB Equal Opportunity Group , a coalition of people helping to organise the examinations for the candidates. He said the difference lies in the method of conducting the UTME examinations and that the process of registering for the examination is the same.
“There are I.6 or 1.7 million UTME candidates every year. Less than 500 of them are blind. I think it is a good show of corporate social responsibility. So, I hope it will be sustained,” he said.Speaking after taking one of the subjects in the UTME, a visually-impaired candidate, Franklin Ifeanyi, commended JAMB for considering their plight by making the special arrangements for them.
