In Lagos, FTN saw applicants being checked in at various locations, including the West African Examination Council Centres in Agindingbi and Ogba, as well as others in Ikeja and surrounding areas. There were no major hiccups during the process.
However, some candidates who talked with our correspondent stated that they faced issues throughout the verification process; officials on the ground stated that all issues will be rectified.
Journalists who visited certain centers in Ilorin, Kwara State’s capital, saw applicants being checked into test halls using Biometric Verification Machines.
