A total of 337 blind and other candidates with disabilities sat for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in 11 centres across the country.

The Coordinator, JAMB Equal Opportunity Group, Prof Sunday Ododo, disclosed this while monitoring the examination at the National Open University of Nigeria CBT centre in Abuja.

He commended the JAMB management for the special arrangement for this category of person’s saying it is to ensure no Nigerian who is eligible, is prevented from taking the UTME regardless of disability.

Ododo was however quick to debunked claims of favouritism in testing the special candidates.

He said better days lie ahead for the blind candidates as plans are in place by the board to integrate them into the Computer Based Test scheme in the nearest future.
