Afeez said he travelled all the way from Osun State to the exam venue and experienced heavy downpours that morning, which affected his movement.

He begged JAMB to reconsider him. Afeez shared his examination slip as proof. Afeez wrote on X:

“Pls I got to cbt 7.30 I was not allowed.

“Due to heavy downpour this morning in oyo town.

“I have traveled all along from osun state (ila) to oyo town on Monday overnight just to meet up in the morning.

“Pls consider me …for reschedule.”

JAMB commenced its 2024 UTME exam on Friday, April 19 and would end on Monday, April 29.
