With effect from this year (2017), candidates awaiting results would no longer be eligible to apply for the Universities Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, said in Abuja on Tuesday.

The organisation also said it had concluded all restructuring and reforms and is now set to commence the sale of its application document in March.

The restructuring exercise will now allow for only one choice of public university in which new registration platform will now be first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred choice.

A statement by the spokesperson of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the agency had taken time to add value to the services it have been offering to Nigerians for over three decades.

According to him, the restructuring was aimed at expanding the opportunities available to candidates since almost all the public universities do not consider candidates on the second choice list because they hardly exhaust their first choice.

He said, "We have designed a Central Admissions Processing System where the Board will interface with the institutions and ensure the compliance of this reform. The summary is that no candidate will be admitted with awaiting result.

Candidates and their parents are also to note that JAMB has restructured the registration platform to allow for only one choice of public university. The new registration platform will now be first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred etc as it was.

"Candidates' first choice can be a College, University, Innovative Enterprises Institutions or Polytechnic/Monotechnic. However, if a candidate makes a Public University his first choice, he will not have any public University to choose for second, third and fourth choice.

He will have on the remaining three choices, a College, Polytechnic, Private University and IEI'S. However, candidates for the 2017 UTME can now select National Certificate in Education (College) or National Diploma (Polytechnic/Monotechnic) as their first choice up to third choice and the fourth IEI. They can select the IEI (Innovative Enterprise Institution, ND) as their first choice up to the fourth choice, but can only pick a public university once."

Management of the University of Osun, UNIOSUN, has threatened to expel over 4,000 students for allegedly using their school fees to "invest" in popular Ponzi scheme, Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox, MMM and other purpose.

A statement issued by the acting registrar of the institution, Gafar Shitu disclosed that the affected students are owing fees amounting to over N2bn.

According to the statement, "Over 4000 students of Osun State University may lose their studentship for failing to pay their school fees before the expiration of February 28, 2017, deadline set by the university management.

"No fewer than 400 parents/guardians of the defaulting students have called the University help lines to report that they had long given money to their children/wards.

"The university Senate at its meeting of January 26, 2017, after observing that a large number of students had refused to turn up in spite of ceaseless appeals, decided that the students' portal be reopened longer into the 12th week of resumption against the four weeks stipulated in the University regulations.

"The decision of the University Senate, which was adequately communicated to all the students on February 2, 2017, was to afford more students the opportunity to pay their fees with effect from 17th to 24th February 2017, a date which was later extended until February 28, 2017.

"On 16 February 2017, some students embarked on a protest against the enforcement of extant rules and regulations regarding fee payment and registration.

"Investigations show that over 90 percent of the protesters had not registered for between two and 11 semesters, and were thus using the stipulated late registration penalty of N10, 000 as a smokescreen for their years of defaulting in fee payment and registration."

According to a twitter user @Chukwukajerri, while preaching last Sunday, the pastor of his church asked all married female members of the church to donate all their salaries to their husband, at the end of every month.

According to him, the lady is then expected to ask from her husband for allowances from her salary, after removing her tithe. The Pastor claims that, this is the first step of resolving every marital dispute between couples.

The cousin to Gifty's alleged Husband, David Sorochukwu Akumah has revealed more details and shared photos as proof to show that indeed Gifty of Big Brother Naija is a married woman.

Recall when Gifty was in Big Brother House, traditional wedding pictures with alleged husband, David Sorochukwu were posted online.. and then after she was evicted from the house, she claimed she's not married and has never been married.. But these proof by her alleged husband's cousin is saying otherwise.

Read The Details below and See photos below:

#GiftyBBN.. It's appalling that you will never in your life be truthful even when you are caught in the act. JESUS!

I am Engr David Akumah's Cousin who refused to be quiet even though my family members are mostly scholars and God fearing,…and wish not to meddle with things that will bring more disgrace to the family's name…
but now I say Enough is Enough! Please Readers be aware

(TRUTH BE TOLD)
Gifty is Married to my Cousin David Sorochukwu Akumah AkA Sodafaces… a renowned Nollywood Director and Producer whom am not surprised that he decided to keep quiet over this matter till now because of his meek nature as a Quiet-Busy-Responsible man and had in the Past, vowed not to be associated with what ever Gifty is involved in because of scandals.

For the Records! My Cousine David never uploaded Gifty's wedding pictures as an instrument in removing Gifty from BBN as accused, or to claim her further as his legally married wife,… rather what he did was to shut down Folders of upto 1000 copies of both Bachelors, Traditional and White wedding pictures of him and Gifty from his Facebook account, immediately after they had a problem that was not properly managed by the couple themselves about Gifty's Cheating Life while still in his husband's house.

It's a Pity that Gifty is still a very big Liar, never truthful to her new Fans and will never be because that's how her fake identified super model mother as she said in Pulse TV interview brought her up. Obviously you can't give what you don't have…Gifty was not morally brought up due to want of making it big with the mother by all means over the years.

Please Nigerians disregard whatever that comes out from that big fake liar's mouth called Gifty because she cannot give what she does not have which is TRUTH. She was trained by a funny Mother who gave birth to over four children from different men inwhich all the children she have, never knew their father including the so called Gifty (#FACT).

Gifty… I decided to fight dirty through this piece of write up because you don't know the disgrace you have robbed and brought upon Rev. Professor Akumah's family which I belong to. You are a wife not some girlfriend of Mr2k or whatever he calls himself..and a point of advice to all men out there….please I beg of you try and find out a little info about any woman you are having an affair with because you may be sleeping with another man's wife and thereby bringing a curse to yourself …don't forget our traditions in Nigeria is still very strong to fight offenders…
…And for #BBN or #BBA…please make true identification findings about married people on your show before reducing our Nigerian morals to zero.

Gifty those pictures online you saw and decided to react with lies when the game is over was a 2014 mobile upload pictures you used your hand to upload through my Cousin's phone when you guys were living together as husband and wife…obviously because you felt he had more Nollywood followers in FB than you and decided to use his platform unknowing to him of the wrong English expression you had attached to those posts of yours that turned against you..now he is undergoing a public disgrace and accusation from your likers that he wants to either use you to sale out as a brand or bring you down…Rubbish! Something he innocently knows nothing about and even does not know how to react to the blackmail because he is also a public figure.
I swear you get luck no be me dey marry you…seriously I for finish you in this your stupid online game.

In their wedding on 6th April 2014, our former Governor His Excellency Senator DR. SAM EGWU was in attendance alongside other important government dignitaries at Assemblies of God Church Odunukwe in Abakaliki followed by a grand wedding reception at WDC Hall in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State (#VERIFY- Please you are free to ask your friends around Abakaliki because it was a huge wedding)

Gifty! that your Husband whom though do not want to change his mind in not bringing you back to his house after all his family's persuasion to do so when your manipulative immoral mother came to his house at Asaba and took you away to Ghana simply because she asked for my cousin after one week of their white wedding to open a boutique for her (Gifty's Mother) in a choice place in Lagos and he begged her to be allowed for sometime to enable him recoup from his just concluded wedding spendings which she vehemently refused and took you! her daughter away.

I can only say may God forgive you and your mother because to you people… traditional and white wedding is just like a one day bikini Party ..chaii..na moneyooo my cousin take use package such wedding no be Paperooo Danm!…

Please Gifty this is not Liberia where your mum grew up…This is Nigeria where a woman can only leave her husband for good or bad either by way of tradition through giving Dowry back by the Elders or Court dissolving the union via Divorce proceedings.

Please Be wise and say the truth before you loose everything including your new fans and be rest assured that my cousin Brother may not accept you back because you and your mother have crossed the line…and if you continue blackmailing or threatening him weather publicly with your so called Online PR Team or phone calls as you and your mum is doing at the moment, then I will be forced to release Audio and Video facts of all of these am saying because I know some of your likers will still blindly say these pictures below i took with my own camera during their traditional and white wedding and also when the couple were signing Marriage certificate were all photoshoped or you are been framed as usual…So in absence of your next actions, I say May God help your mother to help you redirect your life positively before its too late since you both are inseparable. I believe you can also make it bigger with little or more morals like most of our Nigerian celebrities… GoodLuck

AKUMAH AUGUSTINE.

 If you are a Guaranty Trust Bank customer, you should be conversant with the GTBank's 737 shortcode service as it allows customers to perform a different kind of transaction like recharging your phone, check balance, transfer funds, paying your bills, opening an account and much more.

Transactions using the code 737 take less than a minute to conclude and it can be done at the comfort of your home, by just using the last four (4) digits of his ATM card.

Using just the last 4 digits of your ATM card isn't secure enough because anyone who steals your phone and wallet (where your bank card is likely to be) can use the service to clear off all your hard-earned.

I'm glad to inform you that GTBank has made the service more secure. The service now requires a 4-digit PIN to be able to complete transactions on the platform. That is certainly a more secure approach to the service than the previous use of your ATM card's last 4 digits.

To Create A Pin ON GTBank's 737 Service

According to the instructions on GTBank's website, here is how to create a PIN on the 737 platform:

1. Dial *737*5# on the phone number that is linked to your account.
2. Input the last 6 digits of your ATM debit card
3. Create your 4-digit PIN

You will be asked for your 4-digit PIN to complete any transactions on the service, so do not forget it.
