The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Monday, announced that as from 31st January 2023, no candidate would be registered without the provision of an e-mail address.
The Board in a statement signed by Fabian Benjamin, Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, noted that this review of its Advisory on the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration is to ensure that best practices are followed in the process of capturing all relevant data pertaining to the candidates.
The Board added that the latest Advisory aside from aiding in eliciting relevant and up-to-date data of candidates is also imperative forfacilitating the transmission of urgent and vital communication to candidate cheaply and efficiently.
The statement added, “Furthermore, the e-mail provides more flexibility in communication and is a more professional way of reaching out to candidates.
“Candidates are, therefore, advised to get the genuine mail addresses before proceeding with UTME registration.
“In addition, candidates are to ensure that their passwords are kept securely as the Board does not retrieve lost e-mail passwords or change e-mail addresses once registered,” JAMB advised candidates.
