Some students who wrote the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination {UTME},stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly today tuesday to protest the alleged maltreatment by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board {JAMB} in the examination.These angry youths threw stones at the security gate and the personnel manning the gate in the Assembly to vent their anger after waiting for hours without being attended to by the lawmakers.Some of the students,who were angered by the failure of the speaker or any lawmaker in the Assembly to attend to them in time were molested and arrested by members of the Rapid Response Squad {RRS},who had been mobilised to prevent them from entering the Assembly premises.The students sang solidarity songs to register their anger with the authority of JAMB and the Assembly.The over 200 candidates,who wrote this year's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination called for the removal of Prof. Dibu Ojerinde,Director of Joint Admission Matriculation Board {JAMB} over the alleged mismanagement of UTME examination during the protest to the Assembly.One of the affected candidates,Okelola Samson said that he read rigorously for the examination,but that JAMB gave him
170 marks which was against his expectation.According to him,for the past two weeks,JAMB has been sending results that was not in tandem with our expectations.We expect good result but we were disappointed at the management with the series of marks they were sending to our phones.One more photo below.
