The Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this during the visit of a delegation of the West Africa Civil Societies Forum (WACSOF) to his office on Thursday, 27th June, 2024, in Abuja.According to the Registrar, the customised SIMs would only be used for UTME registration and would be accessible to only the parents with an expiry date of five years.
