JAMB Reduces Time For UTME To Two Hours

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Registrar/Chief Executive Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during the opening ceremony of a strategic planning retreat on the monitoring, supervision and evaluation of 2017 UTME stated that candidates writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) this year would spend two hours instead of three hours.

He said the reduction in exam time was in line with international best standards and practices where no candidate is kept in an examination such as UTME for more than two hours. In his words: “We are going to reduce the duration of the examination for this year’s UTME. You cannot keep children of this age for three hours. For their age, the maximum time you can keep them is two hours. So, we are considering the reduction in the time they spend because once it is more than two hours you can’t expect that they will retain their presence of mind.”

Oloyede added that out of 13 commercial banks and the Nigeria Postal Service that have signified interest in the sales of the admission forms, only nine have paid for the number of application documents they required in the first instance. In a related development, since JAMB started the sale of the 2017 UTME form, candidates have been finding it hard to complete The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Registrar/Chief Executive Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, today in Kaduna, during the opening ceremony of a strategic planning retreat on the monitoring, supervision and evaluation of 2017 UTME stated that candidates writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) this year would spend two hours instead of three hours.

OAU: Senate Adjusts Examination TimeTable For Pre-NUGA Games

Following several rumours on the alleged postponement of examinations scheduled to hold between 4th to 7th April to the 10th to 13th April 2017, the University Senate has enacted this postponement.

The postponement which was officially approved on the Senate meeting held on Wednesday, 29th March 2017 would extend the examinations beyond its former ending date.

Several reactions have already started to trail the postponement as while some students gleefully accept the development, some others are not quite excited by it. Speaking to our correspondent, a student of the Faculty of Pharmacy who chose to remain anonymous stated, "...They should just allow us finish our exams and go, I don't think any student of Pharmacy is representing in the NUGA games so why delay us?"

Learn About The Perfect Yacht For A Long Voyage

If you are planning a cruise on a yacht, then, most likely, you have already decided which exotic places you want to visit. However, choosing an appropriate vessel for a cruise is not always easy!

Our experts know what to look for when choosing a suitable yacht!

Do you want to buy a luxury yacht at a reasonable price? Visit https://jiji.ng/275-yachts! An excellent choice of modern luxury yachts as a gift for you or for business from real sellers!

Jiji is used by all online shoppers who appreciate convenience, large assortment and security: online-marketplace # 1 in Nigeria carefully checks all the newly-registered users and features a user-friendly interface, an efficient search system with filters, direct contact with buyers and sellers and the most reliable fraud protection system!

Material

Aluminum, pluses:
● durable body;
● excellent microclimate in the cabins;
● well protected from lightning;
● no osmosis.

Aluminum, minuses:
● expensive internal insulation;
● significant time required for the construction of the yacht;
● large consumption of materials.

Fiberglass, pluses:
● absorbs noise better than aluminum;
● preferable for small boats;
● small repair costs;
● relatively light weight and high speed;
● easy maintenance.

Fiberglass, minuses:
● insufficient body sturdiness.

What is better: a monohull or a catamaran yacht?

A monohull, pluses:
● occupies less space in the port;
● when overkill, they return to their normal position automatically.

A monohull, minuses:
● the internal layout of a single-hulled vessel is almost always the same, which means it is quite boring;
● significant sludge that leads to an increased risk of running aground.

Catamarans, pluses:
● almost no tilting;
● large under-deck volumes;
● insignificant sludge;
● easy maneuvering in harbors;
● they move fast, with a slight tilt, and cope with the waves perfectly.

Catamarans, minuses:
● are charged with higher port taxes;
● the threat of overturning during sudden strong squalls.

Suitable length
A modern 34-foot yacht provides the crew (especially the one consisting of a few members) with space and amenities much better than a 12-meter yacht from the past.

The minimum size of a cruise yacht is explained by a different reason - how the yacht can maneuver in the sea. Therefore, the region where you are going to use the yacht is very important. If it’s the Baltic sea with its short waves, then 35-feet can be considered sufficient length for the yacht. In the Mediterranean the optimal length is 40 feet. As for the Atlantic, the best yacht for calm and safe swimming can be the one at least 42 feet long.
Anyway, the size of the yacht is directly related to its speed.

In conclusion, let's say that preparing a yacht for long voyage is not an easy task. However, as they say, where there's a will there's a way!
