Why candidates will pay extra for 2024 UTME, JAMB registrar

Legit.ng earlier reported that JAMB had denied the claim that it had increased the amount candidates will pay for the 2024 UTME forms.

Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the JAMB registrar, explained that the extra money students would pay was meant for the CBT centres.
