The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has, so far, registered over 500,000 candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, who disclosed this while monitoring the registration exercise in Bwari, Abuja, said the board’s target is to register a total of 1.5 million candidates before the March 26, 2022 deadline.
Oloyede who described the exercise as successful said 99 per cent of problems earlier encountered by candidates were self-inflicted.
The Jamb boss however solicited the cooperation of parents to ensure the processes as initiated by the board are hitch free.
He also gave details on the new approach mandating candidates to fill and submit hardcopy forms before commencing the registration Process.
As expected, Prof Oloyede also warned owners of Computer based test centres against acts that could manipulate the Process.
