"Extend UTME Registration by 2weeks" Reps Mandates JAMB

Cursory: The House of Representatives instructed JAMB to extend the UTME registration period by two weeks. See the reasons below…

The House of Representatives has mandated the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board to extend the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination registration exercise by two weeks.

The resolution followed the adoption of a motion on urgent public importance titled “Need to extend UTME registration by JAMB sponsored by Hassan Shinkafi, during Thursday’s plenary in Abuja.

Moving the motion, Shinkafi noted that the UTME registration exercise which commenced on January 15 ended on February 26, 2024, adding that as a result of the painful economic situation in the country, “Many families have been constrained from registering their wards, by this timeline.”

He said that if the extension was not given by JAMB, many candidates will not be able to register and participate in the exercise and that means “There will not be a wider coverage and participation in this year’s UTME in Nigeria.

Shinkafi emphasized the importance of legislative intervention, stating that an extension would motivate parents of economically disadvantaged students to register their children for the examination.
