The 37 authorized centers for the state’s ongoing University Tertiary Matriculation Examination have been staffed by 422 members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Kano State.
This was said by the state commandant, Mr. Adamu Salihu, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Kano.
He clarified that the cops were stationed at the testing locations to keep an eye on the exercise and to ensure that the specified locations were secure.
He claimed that the leadership sent two officers to each of the 37 centers spread throughout the state to ensure a smooth exercise.
“There will be three sessions of exams for three days and for each session we deployed two officers to monitor the exercise.’’
Salihu said the command had not received any negative report so far.
He claims that the exercise has gone off without a hitch so far; there have been no instances of examination fraud, no arrests, and the environment is favorable.
A NAN correspondent who visited some centers noticed that candidate registration began early and that various experiences were documented throughout the process.
Some of the problems were resolved right away, according to a supervisor at the center who asked to remain anonymous.
He said that the practice had gone smoothly up to this point.
According to NAN, 740 centers will serve the entire country’s 1.5 million candidates who will be taking the computer-based tests.
