Kduos to Pro. Dibu Ojerinde. He has always been active, even when he was in NECO. Pls Sir, kingly read the riot act to those officials who extort money from candidates as well as those candidates who want to cut corners by paying such money.
ReplyDeleteThe quick release of the result of 2012 UTME result by JAMB is a demonstration of transparency. This will help to restore public confidence in the examination body. Other examination bodies can emulate their example to improve the standard of education in Nigeria.
