The University of Lagos has announced the postponement of its 2020/2021 Post-UTME Screening exercise indefinitely.
This was contained in a press statement titled ‘2020/2021 post-UTME: notice of postponement’ on Thursday.
It read, “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.”
This is the second time the management of the university would be shifting the post-UTME exercise as it was initially slated for Wednesday, November 18 to Thursday, December 3, 2020.
It was later rescheduled to hold from Monday, November 30 to Saturday, December 12, 2020 but will not hold due to the latest developments.
UNILAG explained that the change in the date of the 2020 Senior School Certificate Examination of the National Examination Council was the reason for the earlier postponement.
It had 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.”
