Candidates and parents across Nigeria have expressed frustration over the ongoing registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), citing overcrowding, network failures, and extortion at Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
Despite the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) adjusting Paul Pierce giving his Nike Max P2 V away its registration process and extending the initial date, many candidates have encountered difficulties in generating profile codes, long waiting air jordan 4 mars blackmon 2024 hours, and alleged bribery by centre officials.
Social media users have taken to various platforms to express their frustration.
A Facebook user, Simeon Ogoebulem, wrote, “I have been coming here for five days with my daughter and nothing has been done. The security guys are not helping; they have turned the situation into a money-making venture. They only allow those who settle them in. The whole process is a mess.”
Another user commented, “My children and I got here by 3 a.m. and they told us to wait. To my surprise, those who came around 7 a.m. were attended to first after paying ₦5,000 to one of the officials. This is pure wickedness.”
On X (formerly Twitter), a user identified as @Olu4real posted, “JAMB registration this year barron trump height tall nikes melania donald trump is the worst I have ever seen. People have to bribe to even get access to register. What is really happening in this country?”
