The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the sale of Direct Entry (DE) application documents to May 8, 2026, from the earlier closing date.
According to a statement by the Board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the extension is part of efforts to ensure that no prospective Direct Entry candidate is denied access to tertiary education in the country.
JAMB also approved five additional centres to ease registration pressure in high demand areas. The centres are:
Centre for Open and Distance Learning (CODL), Mini Campus, University of Ilorin, Kwara State
Bells University of Technology, Km 8, Idiroko Road, Ota, Ogun State
Olabisi Onabanjo University, Centre 1, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State

Human Development Initiatives (Grace House), No. 2, Iwaya, Sabo, opposite Onike Girls Junior High School, Onike, Lagos State (operations begin April 30, 2026)
The Board reiterated that its offices nationwide, including Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) and Professional Testing Centres (PTCs), remain open for the ongoing 2026 Direct Entry registration exercise.
