Meanwhile, the ongoing strike action by the non-academic staff of universities has been identified as the reason over 600,000 candidates are yet to gain admission.
In this regard, Prof. Oloyede, has called on NASU to strike a deal with the FG in order to call -off the strike action as soon as possible because it might lead to the postponement of the 2018 UTME as some of the centres to be used for the exam are located within the university campuses.
