The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended
registration for the unified tertiary matriculation examination till
Sunday 11th February, by 12 midnight.
The exam board said registration for Direct Entry candidates continues.
JAMB Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement
in a statement after a meeting with directors of the agency on Tuesday,
in Abuja.
The statement reads: “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) announces the extension of registration for 2018 UTME till
midnight of Sunday, 11th February, 2018.
“JAMB as a responsive organization 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.
“UTME candidates are therefore strongly advised to take advantage of
the extension to register as request for further extension would not be
entertained.”
