The second batch that was to commence at 10:00 a.m. could not do so until around 12:00 p.m. because all the computer systems tripped-off a few minutes after the commencement of the examination due to power cut. Akintola, who sat for the examination for the second time, added that the consistent failure of the system did not allow him to finish the examination before he was asked to leave the hall.“After getting them running again, my system tripped off three times and it took 10 to 20 minutes to get it working again each time.
“After restoring the power, which took about 10 minutes, my system tripped off and forced me to wait for 20 minutes before it was restored, and I had to start all over again.Also, Jamilu Iliyasu, who wrote the examination for the first time, complained that the network was bad, adding that the system kept freezing.Similarly, Zainab Abdullahi, who wrote the examination for the third time, said her system was not functional and she had to wait for about an hour before she was assigned another one.
“Ours is to write a report, indicating what transpired in the course of the examination for them to take necessary action.” “I asked one of our technicians to fix it and he went to the switch board to see if there was electricity in the wires that feed the air conditioning system. He hadn’t even open the board when the light went off.
