Osunkiyesi further added that clarifications regarding sale of forms and admission procedures could be obtained from the following telephone numbers; 08176981957 or 08033061863.
The Permanent Secretary, while also advising members of the public to be vigilant, stated that anyone who deals with these touts does so at his or her own risk.
