For emphasis, “The Life Changer” remains the approved reading text for the 2024 UTME Use of English which is compulsory for all candidates irrespective of their intended fields of study. It is worthy of note that the Board had issued the reading text through a QR code placed in each candidate’s profile, email address, among others, to reduce financial burden on candidates occasioned by the high cost of printing materials. Candidates are, therefore, to study the books listed above in preparation for the 2024 UTME.
