The University of Nigeria, Nsukka has postponed its 2017 post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) screening exam earlier scheduled to start on Monday, September 11 and end on Saturday, September 16, 2017.

In a statement on Saturday in Nsukka, theRegistrar, Mr Chris Igbokwesaid a new date would be announced.

“An updated timetable for the rescheduled post-UTME screening tests will be published later.

“Please visit UNN website regularly for update,” he said.

Igbokwe said registration for the post-UTME examination was ongoing.

He urged candidates who made UNN their first choice and scored 200 and above that had been experiencing difficulties in generating invoice in their online registration to continue to try.

“For all enquiries, send an email to:customerservices.ict@unn.edu,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered that the postponement of the UNN 2017 screening examination might not be unconnected with the ongoing industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

The proposed nationwide strike by Non-Academic Staff of Nigerian Universities (NASU) that would kick-off on September 11 might have also contributed to the development. (NAN)
