More than 32,000 candidates are expected to write the 2015 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) into the University of Lagos, the institution’s Deputy Registrar (Information), Mr. Olagoke Oke, said yesterday.

The examination is scheduled to hold from Aug. 12 to Aug. 14.

The figure is almost four times the 9,000 that was initially allocated to the institution by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The board and some public universities had agreed to raise the bar of the cut-off marks of their institutions from 200 to 250 for the various courses.

The development sparked an outrage across the country with parents and other stakeholders, asking the federal government to intervene.

The decision was later reversed after consultations between the Prof. Dibu Ojerinde-led JAMB and the federal government.

“All logistics toward a smooth conduct of this examination are fully in place. We have always been ready for situations like this and have always got it right,” Oke told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

“Before now, we were hoping to put logistics in place for the initial 9,000 candidates, but with the reversal of the decision, we now have to re-adjust and I want to say that we are fully prepared.

“All our computers and its accessories, the backups, alternative power supply as well as adequate personnel that will conduct the examination are all ready.”

The deputy registrar said the university was compelled to extend the exercise to three days because of the large number of candidates seeking admission into the institution.

He, however, advised candidates to arrive early at the examination centres for a hitch-free exercise.
