Yaba College of Technology (YabaTech) says possible plans are going on for the institution’s examinations committee to work together in order to reveal modalities for its post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The institution’s Deputy Registrar, Mr Joe Ejiofor, who made this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos, he stated the possible steps to end worries of candidates and other stakeholders aspiring for admission for the 2020/2021 academic session in the college .
Ejiofor disclosed that academic activities for the undergraduates were already in progress, as lectures were being observed virtually, in accordance with the COVID-19 safety protocols.
“A number of candidates have applied for admission to run courses of their choice here in YabaTech, unfortunately, their hope is hanging in the balance because of the post-UTME.
” It is on that note that we are proposing for the admissions committee to meet, discuss and come up with measures through which the candidates can sit for the post-UTME.
” And for our undergraduates, lecturers are taking advantage of the virtual platform to run their classes since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the ‘stay at home’ order by the government,” Ejiofor added.
He stated that the results and resolution of the examination committee would be disclosed officially online, while assuring the candidates to do the needful while waiting for their post- UTME results.
Ejiofor, who is also the Head of Corporate Affairs of the institution, noted that the institution would give priority to COVID-19 precautionary measures and observe government directives in its approach to the post-UTME.
