Standup9ja: JAMB extends registration for 2018 UTME till Feb. 11
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the registration for 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UMTE), until Feb. 11.
The
Board disclosed this in a statement signed by its Head of Media, Dr
Fabian Benjamin, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
in Abuja, on Tuesday.
According
to him, the extension came after the Board made a “decision albeit with
great hesitation to accommodate candidates who failed to register
between the two months window period.’’
He said that the decision was arrived at after the window period ended at midnight of Tuesday, February 6.
“The
failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board
hastens to add that this culture of impunity would not be tolerated
henceforth.
“Indeed penalty will be imposed for late registration from next session.
“UTME
candidates are therefore strongly advised to take advantage of the
extension to register as request for further extension would not be
entertained,” he said.
The Board, however, noted that registration for Direct Entry (DE) candidates continues as earlier scheduled. (NAN)
