UNILAG says it has postponed indefinitely its Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination earlier scheduled for September 18 to September 22.

The institution's Registrar & Secretary to Council, Dr Taiwo Ipaye, said in on Tuesday in Lagos that a new date for the screening would be announced later on the university's website.

"Candidates & the public are advised to visit the institution's website regularly for information on the new dates."

"However, this postponement does not affect the ongoing application for the post-UTME screening which closes officially on Sept 15," Ipaye said in a statement.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the postponement is coming on the heels of the indefinite strike by the Joint Action Committee of non-teaching staff of universities.

JAC includes members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, the Non Academic Staff Union & NAAT. Members of the various labour unions of universities were agitating the non-implementation of the agreement it entered into with the Federal Government in 2009.
