The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, in Kano said that 1.4 million candidates have registered for this year’s JAMB exams thereby hinting that there wouldn’t be any extension again.
He urged those still willing to register to do so within the stipulated period and deadline to avoid missing out of the examinations holding at a later date this year.
Oloyede said this while ascertaining the level of preparedness and facilities at the Kano zonal office of the board.
He noted that the board will not succumb to any kind of pressure to extend the registration deadline, saying it had fulfilled all necessary obligation for a hitch free registration exercise.
.‘’My mission in Kano is to assess the level of registration. There is no crowd at the centres; the registration is going on smoothly, but the board is worried that towards the end of the exercise, people will be clamouring for an extension,” he stated.
Oloyede noted that the National Identification Number was no longer a problem and called for the sensitization of candidates.
Oloyede mentioned that the 1.4 million candidates already registered shows that registration is not as complex as feared.
