Ahead of the 2023 UTME and Direct Entry registration exercise, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has adopted the e-Naira as a preferred payment channel for purchasing registration e-PINs.
Why JAMB and CBN Introduced e-Naira Payments
Speaking on the partnership, CBN Director of IT, Architecture and Strategy, Rakiya Mohammed, explained that paying with the e-Naira will:
- Eliminate the extortion of candidates by middlemen.
- Reduce indirect cash transaction charges for applicants and parents.
- Enable seamless bulk issuance of JAMB e-PINs and block financial leakages.
Prospective candidates who wish to use this channel can download and install the official e-Naira Speed Wallet from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
