The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Lagos that the board commenced the sales of the document on December 6, 2017 and was originally scheduled to close last Tuesday.

However, the board’s Registrar, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, announced extension of the documents sales to tomorrow in attempt to accommodate candidates who failed to register within the two months window.

According to Benjamin, this year’s registration for the examination has proven to be one of the best in recent times.

“As at the close of work on Thursday, I can comfortably say that we have registered close to 1.6 million candidates for the examination.

“This year’s registration too can be adjudged as one of the best in recent times as it has been smooth, hitch and rancour-free,”Benjamin said.

JAMB as a responsive organisation has taken the decision albeit with great hesitation to accommodate candidates who failed to register within the two months window period that ended at midnight of Tuesday, 6th February, 2018.

The failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board hastens to add that this culture of impunity will 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.

Registration for Direct Entry candidates however continues.
For emphasis, 2018 UTME registration now closes at midnight of Sunday, 11th February, 2018.
