“The examination its self was okay at least for every average candidate that prepared well for it . I like the questions and by the grace of God, I will make it,” he said.
Ojidimu, however, plead with JAMB to do more to improve the entire process.

.“We did our accreditation on time and the examination commenced in due course.
“The examination had been formated in a transparent manner and as such, has not had any issue of impersonation at least for now.
“You know, the examination has just commenced and might be too early to determine any unwanted development but so far, I can tell you that I am happy with the way things are going.
.“Having said that, however, I will also want to state that being the first day, we are bound to encounter, small hitches here and there, but as we go by, things get normalised, as it can only get better,” Sunday said.
