The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) it will no longer make the National Identification Number a mandatory requirement for registration for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, stated this while briefing journalists in Abuja this morning.
He said the decision was taken to provide more time for candidates to get their national identification numbers and to also to address the technical challenges experienced at registration centres.
He therefore directed candidates to disregard the use of NIN for the 2020 registration and strictly comply with other procedures for the registration.
He however said that JAMB will consider the use of NIMC for 2021 exams to address the challenges of multiple registration.
