We’ll Refund 81 Visually-Impaired Students With At Least 5 O’Level Credits In WAEC At The Venue – JAMB

At least 501 visually impaired candidates are set to sit for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination at 11 designated centres across the country, Chairman of the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group, Prof. Emeritus Peter Okebukola has said.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the visually impaired candidates will be taking the same test papers as their sighted counterparts, and 84 visually impaired candidates who got at least five O’Level credits in their SSCE would have their UTME registration fees refunded at the examination venue.

His words, “The candidates take the same test papers as their sighted counterparts. Standards are not lowered in any form.

Recall that in 2017, Oloyede established the JEOG with Okebukola as chairman to oversee the fair and inclusive conduct of the UTME for visually impaired and special needs candidates.

WOW.
