Nigeria, April 28 -- The Education Rights Campaign (ERC) has accused the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of posting candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examinations (UTME) to distant centres, condemning the practice as unfair.

In a statement by its Deputy National Coordinator, Ogunjimi Isaac, the ERC also criticised JAMB's directive mandating candidates to arrive at the centres as early as 6:30 a.m.

It said the directive is insensitive and doesn't regard their safety.

The board also said examinations begin at 8 a.m., noting it only urges candidates to come early for their biometrics.
