JUPEB Registrar, Prof Ademola Adeleke
By MILLICENT IFEANYICHUKWU
The Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board (JUPEB) has announced the postponement of its 2024 examination.
The board’s Registrar, Prof. Ademola Adeleke, made the announcement in a statement issued to newsmen on Friday in Lagos.
According to him, the postponement is in view of security concerns in some states across the country, following the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest, embarked upon by some citizens nationwide.
The registrar disclosed that the examination which was earlier scheduled for Aug. 5, to Aug. 16, would now take place from Monday, Aug. 19, to Friday, Aug. 30,
“In view of the security situation in some states across the country and the extent to which the constraints on human and vehicular movement would affect the security of our supervisors who have to travel across state boundaries, we are compelled to announce a postponement of the 2024 JUPEB examination.
“This examination therefore, will now take place from Aug. 19 and end on Friday, Aug. 30,
“A new examination timetable reflecting the new dates will be circulated as soon as possible.
“We plead that these JUPEB Foundation schools located in states where the protest has not created any security challenges and which are ready to conduct the examinations as initially scheduled, bear with us.
“This is to enable us conduct the examinations simultaneously, in all our partner and affiliate universities,” the JUPEB boss said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the protest which commenced on Thursday, Aug. 1, would end on Aug.10. (NAN)
