The 2016 University and Tertiary Matriculation
Examinations (UTME), began on Saturday across
19 centres in Edo, including Benin city, the
capital, amidst tight security.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
correspondent who visited some of the centres
in Benin, reports that men of the Police Force
and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) were present at the centres visited.
NAN reports that the Police and the NSCDC
jointly deployed a total of 167 officers to various
centres across the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),
Mr Abiodun Osifo and the NSCDC Spokesman, Mr
Efosa Ogbebor , who both spoke to NAN, said
that they provided 101 and 68 personnel
respectively to ensure peaceful conduct of the
examination.
They said that the personnel would be on ground
throughout the six days the examination would
last.
They said that unlike the hitches that followed
the conduct of the Computer Based Test (CBT)
UTME in 2015 that of 2016 would be devoid of
such hitches this year.
It would be recalled that the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) began full CBT in
2015 following the success recorded in the pilot
phase 2014.
The 2016 CBT would take place in all accredited
centres across the federation and seven centres
outside the country.
