UTME candidates decry poor network amongst other challenges

Candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Delta on Monday complained of poor network during the examination.The candidates told newsmen in Asaba that they also experienced difficulties with some parts of the computers which cost them some time.One of these candidates, Chukwuemeka Chijindum, said that the situation might have adverse impact on his result.Another, Adeola Ayeni, however, said that she was lucky that her computer worked well but that some other candidates were not as lucky as they had had to shake the computers vigorously before they responded.According to Ayeni, no concessions were given to those who had issues with their computers as all candidates were made to stop writing at the same time.Miss Ifeanyi Okpala, one of the unlucky, corroborated the story of the others.She said that the time wasted due to poor internet network might have negative effect on candidates’ results.Meanwhile, JAMB Coordinator in the state, refused to comment on the issues raised, saying that he was not authorised to speak.
