JAMB speaks on extending 2019 registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB )has announced that there would not be an extension of the registration for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)

Chairman of Governing Board, , Dr Emmanuel Ndukwe, said he does not foresee an extension of registration beyond February 21 deadline.

Ndukwe said this while monitoring the ongoing registration of candidates in some Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres in Lagos on Friday,

Ndukwe further urged candidates planning to take the 2019 UTME to register now while there is no pressure at the Centres.

“I don’t foresee an extension. We have to stick to the date we have given to the public. If we start now thinking about extension, it doesn’t portray our seriousness.

“Some of the places we visited had many systems but few candidates. Let the candidates out there be mindful of the examination dates. I don’t foresee any extension of dates,” he said.
