The House of Representatives has called
on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB to extend the registration
deadline for the registration of 2017
UTME.
This came after the motion raised by
Danburan Nuhu (Kano-APC).
According to Mr. Nuhu during the 2016
UTME exercise, about 1.6 million
applicants registered for the UTME and
about one million passed. He stated that
the 2017 exercise might reach 2 million
across the country given the growing
number of applicants.
He noted that some of the approved
registration centres are registering only
250 applicants at a time; most of them do
not have enough space and adequate
number of computers.
He urged JAMB to specify the
requirements including safety measures,
that approved centres need to have to
participate in the conduct of UTME
Computer Based Test and ensure to
deploy safety equipment to each centre
to forestall any incidence of stampede
due to overcrowding.
The motion was unanimously adopted by
the House and the committee on basic
education was mandated to direct JAMB
to comply with the resolutions.
The JAMB had earlier stated that it has no
plans of extending the registration
deadline but with this development, let's
watch how it all plays out.

Hmmmmm... I tank God say na back in 2011 I write this Arab Jamb.... I dey pity pple wey dey write this year.....See queue like fillings station.

Please, if this moti. Please, if this motion is implemented, does that now mean that we are no more starting Jamb on the 6th of May?



Because, if we should speculate an addition of 30 days with the April 20th deadline, I fear that Jamb might be further shifted.


We are in Nigeria. Where many sections love money.

I pray Jamb is not further extended.

Mods please move this to the front page.

That Prof is Very Stubborn. I don't think he will extend anything.

Confused set of people without empathy


I just hate our leaders!!!
