Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has apologised for the delay
in the registration exercise for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The exercise was “speculated” to commence on Thursday, April 8.
But in a statement on Thursday by JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, he said delay was caused by some unforeseen circumstances as a result of the examination body’s determined effort to have a National Identity Number integration.
“To be sure all processes are completed before the commencement, the Board didn’t place its advertorial as it was yet to complete the process of a smooth pin vending and candidate access to the registration app for the 2021 UTME/DE.
“The advertisement is the surest indication of the beginning of the exercise as it has all the step by step process that candidates are required to follow.
“However, this delay is caused by some unforeseen circumstances occasioned by our determined effort to have a NIN integration.
“This challenge is being resolved and once that is done, all processes shall commence.
“Candidates are therefore requested to exercise some patience. The process shall be up and running shortly for our advertisement to be rollout so that candidates can begin the creation of profile,” Benjamin said.
