Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board’s Spokesperson, made this announcement in a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, emphasizing that the registration period, which began on February 3, will conclude as planned.
“This deadline has been clearly communicated in all advertisements and the official calendar for the 2025 UTME exercise,” Benjamin noted.
He encouraged prospective candidates to finalize their registration without delay to prevent any last-minute issues.
“We wish to inform all prospective candidates that there will be no extension of the registration period.
“This notice is particularly important given the recent decline in the number of candidates registering for the examination.
“We urge all individuals who wish to participate to register promptly and avoid waiting until the last minute,” he added.
Benjamin also mentioned that over 1.5 million candidates have successfully registered, which aligns closely with the Board’s expectations for the 2025 examination cycle.
“It is essential to note that the Board’s calendar is fixed, with numerous subsequent programmes scheduled after registration, including examinations, results management, and the admissions exercise.
“These timelines are coordinated with other agencies whose operations rely on the completion of our processes. Therefore, extending the registration period would disrupt not only the Board’s plans but also those of our partners,” he clarified.
He advised candidates to strictly follow the established timeline to ensure a seamless examination process.
