JAMB: EXTENSION OF REGISTRATION UNACCEPTABLE





The Chairman of Governing Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ( JAMB ), Dr Emmanuel Ndukwe, has said he does not foresee an extension of the registration for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) beyond February 21 deadline.
Speaking while monitoring the ongoing registration of candidates in some Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres in Lagos on Friday, which he described as seamless, Ndukwe urged candidates planning to take the 2019 UTME to do so 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.
Ndukwe expressed satisfaction with what he saw at the Ha-Shem Academy centre, Iwaya, FCE Technical Akoka centre, and the Electronic Test Centre (ETC), Anthony, where he interacted with the centre managers and candidates.
“It is seamless and we are happy. What I have seen today has confirmed that Prof Oloyede and his technical team were very right to ban cyber cafes. I have interacted with the candidates; they are all happy and satisfied. I must express the satisfaction of the board. How it was last year is not how it is this year and will be better next year,” he said.
