The Literature texts for both the Literature-in-English subject and four language subjects (Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, and Arabic) have been revised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). These modifications are slated to come into effect starting from the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
So it is expected of every student to take note of these changes.
