The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has urged prospective
candidates for its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to
crosscheck the data on their registration forms for the last time on May 6.
The
board’s Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the call in an
interview with the News Agency if Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.
The
call comes ahead of the 2017 UTME scheduled for May 13 across 633 centres
nationwide.
NAN
reports that registration of candidates for the examination was closed by the
board by 12 midnight on Friday, May 5.
According
to Benjamin, the call for the crosschecking of data by prospective candidates
was to ensure total inclusiveness.
He
added that the board intended to ensure that no candidate was left out during
the examination due to one reason or the other.
“All
candidates who desire to do any change on their registration details are urged
to do so today as the platform closes finally by 9 p.m. of Saturday May 6.
“We
are giving all the candidates the last chance to ensure that everyone is
carried along and provided with equal opportunity.
“We
also want to avoid a situation whereby candidates will have cause to complain
of one incident or the other just before the commencement of the examination
