The Guardian reports that the validation exercise will start after all modalities needed to conclude the process are put in place.
JAMB's registrar said:
“This is in addition to giving other new ones with the opportunity to showcase their capacity and be included if found suitable while ensuring that any centre that is lacking in terms of technical and infrastructural specifications is excluded from the exercise.”
