JAMB DIRECT ENTRY REGISTRATION CLOSING DATE

By
 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board ( JAMB )

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board ( JAMB ) says it will close the Direct Entry e-Registration portal on Sept.15.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Media and Information of the board, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
Benjamin advised candidates yet to register to do so before the deadline, saying that there might be no postponement of the deadline.
He also advised JAMB candidates to re-upload their ‘O’ level results in the new portal as the previous portal did not allow for the capturing of candidates level of grades.
He also said that candidates should use the approved Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres for the exercise.
According to him, the new portal has provided a platform for the detailed category of the West African Examination Result ( WAEC ) of candidates for proper placement.
“The first platform that was used for the exercise does not create room for the capturing of the levels of grade such as C4, C5, C6, B1, B2, B3 and A1.
“ You know in some schools, all these ‘O’ level grades are being considered.
“For example, if you have B1 and another one has B3 and there is no room for separation in the platform schools may not be able to ascertain the level of grades some schools will consider the O’ level grades.
“And the first platform just stated A, B, C, so with this new platform, there will be room for the download of the level of grades. Somebody who has B1 will stand a better chance than the person with B3.
“So, we use this new platform to capture all those detailed categories of WAEC result so that no grade of result will be left uploaded.’’
Benjamin, however, said that any candidate who felt that what he or she uploaded before was enough might not bother.

BANKS IN NIGERIA SAY THERE IS NO MONEY TO PAY CUSTOMERS

By
The British experiment called Nigeria has finally collapsed and there is no sign of it being redeemed. Can you imagine that during this Christmas season when Nigerians as well as BIAFRANS need their money deposited in Nigerian banks, Nigerian banks are now telling them that there is no money to give them. This cock and bull story of Nigeria banks not having money to pay, mostly took place in Igweocha Biafra Land now called Port Harcourt in River state. Starting from 18th of December, 2016, many people begin to troop into different banks in Igweocha to collect their money for Christmas celebration. Another notable challenge faced by customers is the long queues at the banks as these banks adopt measures aimed at frustrating customers. Most customers recount that “even though they came to the bank in the morning before they will be attended to, it will be later in the evening. At times, some will leave the bank annoyed without being able to collect their money”. Adding that to mak...
