This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of
JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Thursday in Abuja.
According to him, the time scheduled for the registration
exercise from 19th February, to 26th March, 2022, is the only window allotted
by relevant authorities to the Board to conduct the exercise.
Benjamin further explained that it was practically
impossible for the Board to even contemplate any extension of registration as
sister examination bodies such as West African Examination Council (WAEC),
National Examination Council (NECO) and National Business and Technical
Examination Board (NABTEB), have their allotted time which the Board could not
usurp.
He noted that registration and examination dates are usually
not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of opinions of the Federal
Ministry of Education and examination agencies.
He added that before the commencement of registration or
examination for any given year, all public examinations bodies are invited to a
roundtable where they are expected to agree on the timetable of activities for
each examination agency and which must be strictly adhered to.
“This announcement is necessary because of the drop in the
number of candidates coming forward to register in spite of the capacity of the
Board to register more daily.
“By this announcement, the Board is urging prospective
candidates who desire to register for the 2022/23 UTME/DE to come out to
register as they have only two weeks to do so as no extension would be granted
after the close of registration
The general public is to note that it is practically
impossible for the Board to even contemplate any extension of registration as
sister examination bodies such as WAEC NECO and NABTEB, have their allotted
time which the Board cannot usurped,” the Board said.
