Some Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME applicants in Ibadan have staged a peaceful protest at Radio Nigeria Dugbe, Ibadan.
The UTME candidates who were protesting the delay in the release of their profile code and the closure of e- pin and UTME registration chanted solidarity songs over their predicament.
Three of the applicants, Maxwell Obi, Precious Nwamako and Okoro Joshua said prior to the registration deadline given by the joint admissions and matriculation board, jamb, several efforts were made to generate both the profile code and e-pin which they said cost them between 5,000naira and 6,000naira.
