The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that blind candidates will take the 2018 UTME by dictation, as it was done in 2017.
JAMB Head of Media and Information Fabian Benjamin said this in Lagos on Thursday, adding that the body will ensure everyone is carried along.
“Yes, the candidates would be taking this year’s examination through the dictation mode,” Fabian said.
“This dictation would be carried out by the ‘Equal Opportunity Group,’ under the supervision of Prof. Peter Okebukola, a former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission.
“The Board is mindful of the needs of the Nigerian child and, therefore, will stop at nothing in ensuring that everyone is carried along and given equal opportunity to succeed.’’
