FUOYE postpones CBT, directs continuation of first semester exams
The Federal University Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State, has shifted its computer-based-testing for the first semester examinations by one week to accommodate JAMB Mock UTME following hiccups arising from the exercise.
It said the shift in the CBT would not affect the ongoing first semester examinations for its new undergraduates, adding that students should stop visiting the university ICT centre pending further directive.
The school said students had no business going to the center except otherwise directed to so do.
In a statement by FUOYE’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Foluso Ogunmodede, and signed by the Registrar, Mr. Mufutau Ibrahim, the management regretted any inconvenience the shift in the CBT might have caused the students.
The statement reads, “The university noted the issues that have arisen in the course of administering the CBT as we make academic progress with the first semester examinations and strongly express regrets at the turn of events.
“However, it’s pertinent to point out that concerned students had been duly informed that the CBT had been cancelled for Thursday, 30th March, 2023 to accommodate the JAMB Mock UTME as scheduled.
“To this end, all CBTs have been postponed for one week as an immediate and interim measure.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all pen-on-paper first semester examinations would go on as scheduled.
“It’s worthy of note that the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abayomi Sunday Fasina, and his management team were physically present at the ICT centre to address the matter.
“The VC has further set up a committee to address all the issues identified in this regards from planning/scheduling to allegations of extortion made against some security personnel.
“We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused.”
