The Kaduna State Chapter of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has criticized the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for shutting down general electronic registration for the 2021 UTME on 29th May 2021 while thousands of candidates were still facing NIN and Profile Code hitches.

NANS condemns JAMB's policy on manual registration for unsuccessful candidates

Why NANS Opposed the Manual State-Office Procedure

  • In a statement issued on Monday, 31st May 2021, by the NANS Chairman in Kaduna State, Comrade Aziz Huzaifa Bello, the student body faulted JAMB's directive requiring candidates who could not obtain profile codes before 29th May to travel to JAMB State Offices and Professional Testing Centres between 31st May and 15th June 2021 with a ₦4,000 bank draft.
  • NANS urged JAMB to reopen normal electronic registration at local CBT centres rather than exposing students from distant local governments to travel risks and bank draft hurdles.
