In a statement released on Tuesday evening, JAMB’s spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin announced that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has extended the registration for 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The board said registration for the examination will now end on February 11, 2018.


The statement read: “JAMB as a responsive organisation has taken the decision albeit with great hesitation to accommodate candidates who failed to register between the two months window period that ended at midnight of Tuesday, 6th February, 2018.

“The failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board hastens to add that this culture of impunity will not be tolerated and indeed penalty may be imposed for late registration in future.
