The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) say over 1.16 million tertiary institutions admission seekers have so far registered for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Sale of 2023 UTME commenced on Saturday 14th January 2023, and closed on Tuesday, 14th February 2023.
Registrar of the Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyede who disclosed this on Saturday while monitoring some CBT centers in Abuja, explained that the Board would not extend the deadline for the 2023 Unified UTME registration.
He warned the centers against extortion of candidates, urging candidates to report cases of extortion, promising to reward anyone who reported such act.
“One of the reasons is that we will tell every CBT center to stop doing bulk purchase of pin and bulk registration so if a center sells more than one pin to a source or collect money for more than one pin from a source then we will sanction such center.
“Registration is going on well except for some of these schools. UTME is not a school-based examination, it’s individual candidates and you can see what that school, Stella Maris is doing, collecting N30,000 from candidates in the name of JAMB and then ending up missing the telephone number of the candidates.”
“It is unlikely that the candidates when we are contacting them if we want to make a change in their timetable, you send a text to them and it will not get to them after they have graduated from the school and want a change, of course, they don’t have access to it,” Oloyede said.
