The source, which spoke on condition of anonymity, said that not all the candidates that registered might be screened. “We know that some candidates, who registered for the exercise, may not have made the screening due to one reason or another,” the source said. The exercise was organised in batches at different venues on the campus.
Two candidates, Ifeoma Uwakwe and Kelechi Onyema, who spoke said that they expected to write aptitude test as was the case in the past. “This was not what I expected. I thought they were going to give us written test so I came with necessary writing materials. “Surprisingly, the screening had to do with one’s bio-data and some other information rather than academic exercise,” Uwakwe said. The Chairman of screening committee,Prof. Irene Ijeh, said that the exercise did not flout the ban on post-UTME examinstion. She said that the exercise would neither be in the form of test nor examination, adding that it was meant to help the university to ascertain that the candidates actually wrote the JAMB examination. Ijeh also said that vice chancellors of the universities agreed with the Federal Government to peg the charge for the exercise at N2,000.
