He noted that JEOG, introduced by JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede in 2017, aims to provide inclusive access to education, with adaptive materials like braille and typewriters, and trained personnel assisting candidates.


Yahuza-Bello revealed that over 500 special needs candidates are sitting for the UTME nationwide across 11 centres, with the success rate for special needs candidates surpassing that of regular candidates.


JAMB provided free accommodation, feeding, and transportation tokens for all special needs candidates during the exam period.


A former Kano centre candidate, Khadija, now a final-year student at BUK, shared her success story to encourage the candidates.
