 UNILAG Post-UTME screening postponed

By Emmanuel Awosika

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has announced the indefinite postponement of its 2020/2021 Post-UTME screening exercise.

The university management disclosed this in a statement titled ‘2020/2021 post-UTME: notice of postponement’ released on Thursday.

The statement reads: “The University wishes to inform all prospective candidates of the 2020/2021 Post-UTME Screening exercise earlier slated for Monday, November 30 to Saturday, December 12, 2020, that the screening has been postponed.

“New dates will be communicated as soon as possible. Any inconvenience occasioned by this postponement is highly regretted.”

UNILAG had earlier announced that the post-UTME screening exercise would run from Wednesday, November 18 to Thursday, December 3, 2020.

However, it rescheduled the exam and said it would now hold on Monday, November 30 to Saturday, December 12, 2020.

The varsity management explained that the earlier postponement was caused by the change in dates of the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination of the National Examination Council (NECO).

It said: “The exercise was rescheduled following the rescheduling of the 2020 SSCE of NECO.

“(It is also) in compliance with the directive from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) that all institutions should conduct their Post-UTME screening exercise after the completion of the 2020 NECO examination.”
