For example, at the Ade-Ola International School CBT Centre, Kubwa, our reporter observed that parents protested at the school gates because of the failure of the virtual private network . When our reporter visited the centre at about noon, some JAMB officials had arrived and were reportedly working on the systems.
A candidate, Blessing said some of the candidates were being hurried and could not use their two hours for the examination.Parents kept on protesting at the gates as of 2pm when our correspondent left, as new candidates continued to arrive at the centre.
