“Fixing Jamb Exam for 6:30am is not just stressful for the candidates, but for parents whose responsibilities it is to drive or take these kids to their various centers.I know what I went through driving before day break, just to take my daughter to her center during her Jamb mock exam few weeks ago.
“My eyes hurt so bad navigating through heavy trucks and trailers. Now, her main Exam has been fixed for 6:30am again tomorrow, and I’m here thinking of the shege promax I’ll experience just to get her to her center on time. I think Jamb needs to do something about their timing.”
