Recall that NAIJ.com previously reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced the postponement of sales of forms for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The forms were supposed to be out on Wednesday, November 22; but head of media for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, said the postponement was because of the failure of the publisher of the texts that was to be used for the examination.
Benjamin said the publisher promised to deliver the texts on or before November 7, but failed to do so.
