According
Benjamin, the sale of the application documents, which was scheduled to start
on November 22, suffered delay due to the publishers’ inability to print the
1.8
million copies of the forms before the deadline.
“This
postponement was due to the delay in meeting agreed deadline by the publisher
of the Compulsory Reading Text meant for prospective candidates for the 2018
UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations).
“The
publisher had promised to deliver all the texts for the 2018 candidates on or
before November 7 but as at close of work today, the publisher has not provided
the 1.8 million copies required.
“This
development has painfully forced the Board to shift the date from Wednesday,
November 22 to a date to be announced soon,” he said.
Benjamin
added that a new date would be announced soon and urged intending applicants to
visit its website and familiarise themselves with the application procedures.
“All reforms
and the process of registration have been made very friendly and easy for candidates
desirous of applying for the 2018 exercise.
“The
advertisement when out will explain step by step the processes of obtaining the
application e-pins and registration,” Benjamin concluded.
