The University of Lagos (UNILAG) says it has postponed
indefinitely its Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME)
earlier scheduled for Sept. 18 to Sept. 22...
The institution’s Registrar and
Secretary to Council, Dr Taiwo Ipaye, said in on Tuesday in Lagos that a new
date for the screening would be announced later on the university’s website.
“Candidates and the public are requested to visit the institution’s website
regularly for information on the new dates. “However, this postponement does
not affect the ongoing application for the post-UTME screening which closes
officially on Sept. 15,’’ Ipaye said in a statement. The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports that the postponement is coming on the heels of the indefinite
strike by the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of non-teaching staff of
universities. JAC comprises of members of the Senior Staff Association of
Nigerian Universities (SSANU), the Non Academic Staff Union (NASU) and NAAT.
Members of the various labour unions of universities were agitating the
non-implementation of the agreement it entered into with the Federal Government
in 2009. (NAN)
