The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has decided to extend the ongoing registration for Direct Entry by an additional two weeks to accommodate all prospective candidates in the process.
This is contained in a
statement by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor (PCA), Fabian Benjamin on
Saturday.
The statement reads “The Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would be extending the 2024 Direct
Entry (DE) registration by two weeks to enable all candidates desirous of DE
registration to do so.
“The Board commenced the 2024
Direct Entry on Wednesday, 28th February, 2024, and was to have concluded it on
Thursday, 28th March, 2024, but on subsequent consideration, has now extended
the exercise by two weeks from Wednesday, 28th March, 2024, consequently
bringing the registration to a close on Thursday, 11th April, 2024.
“This extension became
necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of
the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and
embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE
candidates.
“The Board apologises for the
inconveniences caused the prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going
forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.
“However, in doing this, the
Board will not compromise on its avowed determination to ensure that
candidates, whose certificates were dubiously acquired are prevented from benefiting
from such certificates.
“It is also to be noted that
candidates, whose certificate-issuing institutions are among those on the list
of institutions that have not verified their certificates despite repeated
requests, would not be allowed to register without doing the needful.”
