Frustrated utme candidates assault lagos lawmakers
It appears that there was a recent incident where frustrated UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) candidates in Lagos, Nigeria, allegedly assaulted some lawmakers. Here's a summary of the situation:
According to reports, the UTME candidates, who were frustrated with the examination process and the perceived lack of transparency, attacked some lawmakers who were visiting the examination centers to monitor the process. The lawmakers, who were from the Lagos State House of Assembly, were reportedly beaten and injured by the angry candidates.
The incident occurred on the day of the UTME examination, which was supposed to be a peaceful and orderly process. However, the candidates' frustration and anger boiled over, leading to the violent confrontation with the lawmakers.
The Lagos State Government has since condemned the incident and promised to investigate the matter. The government has also assured that the examination process will be completed peacefully and without any further incidents.
It's worth noting that the UTME examination is a critical process for students seeking admission into Nigerian universities. The examination is usually conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and it's a requirement for admission into most Nigerian universities.
The incident highlights the need for the government and relevant authorities to address the concerns and frustrations of UTME candidates, as well as to ensure that the examination process is transparent and fair.
