JAMB Extends Date For Admission Processing
The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the date given to universities to start the admission processes.
Universities will no longer begin the admission processes from 21st of August 2020 as stipulated before.
Processes like post-UMTE screening exercises, uploading of required documents etc have now been pushed forward.
To ensure equity and fairness, the board decided to allow every aspiring candidate who had taken it’s UTME to be given equal opportunity to compete with their peers for any available opening by cancelling the earlier approved date.
This development was revealed by JAMB spokesperson, Mr Fabian Benjamin who said they will be meeting with heads and stakeholders on the 10th of August to review the earlier scheduled date and whatever decision reached will be communicated to the relevant ministries.
According to Mr Benjamin, this review is necessary for the board in order to carry every student along to prevent any unfavorable situation that may arise if these students were denied the opportunity of enrolling with others.
At least this decision by JAMB would help the West African Examination Council (Waec )students to face their exams with a relaxed mindset.
