“I met some people already here on my arrival but up till now we have not been able to locate anyone with useful information regarding the exam.’’

Madubuchukwu, who resides at Bariga on the Lagos Mainland, said that she relocated to Ikorodu since Thursday for the UTME.

A Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) official at LASPOTECH, who did not want to be mentioned, told NAN that many candidates were becoming restless.

“We have been here as early as 6.30 a.m. We went round the entire school and called one of the staff of the school whom we learnt is in charge of the building where the test will be held.

“We are sure the test has not been cancelled because we have called our office and have been told that the exam had started in other centres.

“We want to believe this is just a delay because of low awareness that the restriction of movement has been lifted by the Lagos State Government.”

NAN reports that two NSCDC officials were on ground at each of the centres to maintain law and order.
