JAMB ISSUES WARNING AGAINST NOCTURNAL REGISTRATION PRACTICES

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has become aware of the concerning trend of nocturnal (nighttime) registration of prospective candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) by certain registration centres.

While JAMB appreciates the enthusiasm of these centers to accommodate as many candidates as possible, this should never come at the cost of the candidates’ personal safety and security.

In light of this, JAMB provides clarity and issues a stern warning to the centres listed below, as well as any others that may consider engaging in similar practices, to immediately cease these activities.
The centres involved in the nocturnal registration are:

1.  Thomas Adewumi University, University Drive Off Oko-Idofin Road, Oko, Kwara State
2.  CBT Centre Otukpo, 14 Federal Road, Otukpo, Benue State
3.  Ebenezer International School, No. 23 Barry White Street, Near MTN Mast, Pipeline Rumukwurusi, Elimgbu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State

10. FZX Media Consulting Limited, Km 15, Ikom-Ogoja Highway, Inside Havilla University, Nde, Ikom, Cross River State

This publication serves as a final warning to these centres, as no further notices will be issued before JAMB takes decisive action to address this issue.

JAMB will not tolerate any violations of the regulations governing the registration process and will take appropriate measures against any centre engaged in questionable or exploitative practices during this exercise.

The Board remains committed to monitoring the registration process to ensure strict adherence to all guidelines, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the exercise and promoting fairness and equity in the registration process.

JAMB urges centres to prioritize the well-being of our nation’s youth over mere profit margins.
