Wooow! You all made it into the den of Lions. By now most or some of you must have been running up and down just to receive lectures, Shae, no be new thing, we all passed through that. But that not the case for now, cos after the matriculation, you will continue from where you stopped starting from your assignments, to term papers, to seminar presentation and so on.

COULD U IMAGINE THIS

The question now is where will I be celebrating my matriculation? Here is the answer.

For those in Engineering faculty, there is the new Engineering Annex, where you will be doing your own , also remember that you have to learn the school anthem  (Though not compulsory).

For those i other faculties, visit your faculty buildings. If you have not yet collected your matriculation gown, you do not have problem, you can always colect from a friend and take pictures. Remember to send me free basics when your parents comes.

JAMB to introduce CCTV cameras in exam halls

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has said that all computer-based centres to be accredited for the registration of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), must now have Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.

This was revealed by JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, during an interactive meeting with operators of CBT centres from across the country, at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

CCTV CAMERA

Oloyede explained that this was necessary, to avoid errors of the past.

He also stated that the new process has made cybercafe operators redundant, as the computer-based centres to be accredited must have 250 desktop or laptop systems in a single room, with provision for additional 25 systems as back-ups.

Oloyede said: “What we have said is that we are in a period of change, and what that means is that everything we have been doing must be reviewed. Whatever we have been doing rights will have to be reinforced while what were doing wrongly will be changed.

“For the purpose of the CBT centres, we have to introduce the CCTV so that whatever that is going on at our centres can be monitored anywhere in the world.


“We are also standardizing the CBT centres so that all CBT centres will have 250 computers with 10 per cent of the figure as backups.”
