BENUE: Reschedule UTME for kidnapped candidates, Gov Alia appeals to JAMB

The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, has called on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to reschedule a new date for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for eight candidates who were kidnapped last Wednesday.

Alia made the appeal on Sunday at the Government House in Makurdi, where he received 15 rescued victims of the kidnapping, including the eight UTME candidates.

“I invite you to please have them scheduled to write this JAMB of theirs, send the date; we are willing in the state to take care of the rest of it,” he said.
