The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has hinted that the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)—originally scheduled to hold from 5th to 19th June 2021—may be shifted to allow over 600,000 candidates experiencing NIN delays to complete their registration.
Why Over 600,000 Candidates Were Delayed
- Speaking during a virtual meeting with stakeholders, Prof. Oloyede disclosed that more than 600,000 prospective candidates who initiated the registration process had not yet received their NIN-linked Profile Codes.
- He announced that a final decision on extending registration and shifting the examination dates would be taken at a broader stakeholders' meeting in Abuja (where the exam was subsequently moved by two weeks to 19th June - 3rd July 2021).
