The Registrar of the Joint Administration and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, has said that Persons Living With Disabilities (PLWD) who intend to take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 2024/2025 can register at no cost.

According to him, efforts have been made to accommodate the needs of all physically challenged individuals, with a particular focus on people who are deaf or hard of hearing and blind people, saying audiobooks will be provided for all blind students.

While speaking on a monitored programme, the JAMB boss said that to ease accessibility, over 11 centres have been established nationwide to cater to their peculiar needs.

Professor Oloyede also said institutions have been instructed to support PLWD for seamless university admission.

In his remarks, Jake Epelle, founder of the Albino Foundation, said school teachers must learn how to relate to PLWD to give them a sense of belonging.
