UTME candidates flock NIMC office in Lagos ahead exams

Dear NIMC, Your center at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Secretariat, Lagos collects 100 naira for a form collection and a whooping N5000 for so called registration from these innocent UTME fellows. This has been ongoing for days now. Before now, there has been cases of extortion! https://t.co/eTKrlZMVnq

Right about now at the NIMC office in Lagos along Awolowo way, Nigerian teaming population being subjected to this inhuman treatment in the name of getting National ID. For how long do we do this to ourselves, think of voter's card reg too. pic.twitter.com/aTQbJ9uDuQ

JAMB and NIMC working together to make the live of students miserable. Another example of a bad policy – introducing the use of NIN for JAMB registration without considering the time it will take to execute it.

It's one thing to go through the stress of admission into higher institutions, the nightmare of registering for post UME, now University applicants are faced with the hardship of registering for NIMC as a prerequisite 4 GCE and JAMB. To get things done in country never gets easy

So we have to put students through this NIMC hell just to register for JAMB? This Buhari administration is dumb and lacks foresight.
What the hell is the Ministry of Education doing about this?

I foresaw the pain and anguish @nimc_ng and @JAMBHQ will subject intended candidates with this unnecessary policy to. Too many people don't seem to care.

This country keeps destroying its future.

Shame to NIMC in all your centres,people are suffering,your staffs are demanding 2000,2500,3000,4000,5000 from citizens just to register. We have reported many incidence but you have kept deaf ears. Many people that have registered cant even collect their coloured copy,sham,shame

This is a good development, but is it not important to have more registration centers to take care of the rush in this period? Students don't deserve what they are going through now because of JAMB registration. Pls something should be done.
