The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has been hailed for breaking barriers in Nigeria’s education landscape by providing full support for 501 physically challenged candidates writing the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, across 11 specialized centres nationwide.
Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, made the commendation while monitoring the ongoing UTME at the Centre for the Blind at the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN, Abuja, on Tuesday.
Ahmad applauded JAMB for not only making the examination accessible but for candidates with disabilities, but also covering all associated costs, including transportation, accommodation, and personal aides for the special-needs candidates.
