JAMB to use NIN for 2020 UTME registration
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the use of National Identity Number issued by the National Identity Management Commission for the conduct of 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, stated this when the Director of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms, Mr Dasuki Arabi, visited him at the board’s headquarters in Abuja.
He said the introduction of the NIN to UTME was the directive of the Federal Government that NIMC should be the primary data collection centre.
He noted that the NIN would guard against all forms of registration infractions.
The registrar, in a statement by the agency’s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin on Sunday in Abuja, said the board has concluded arrangements with the NIMC to use NIN number as a direction for 2020 UTME.
Oloyede said the board would use both the NIN number and its Computer Based Test Centres for the 2020 UTME registration.
“In view of the compliance with the Federal Government’s directive that the NIMC should be the primary data collection centre, the board will be using the NIM number of prospective candidates for registration in the next exercise. The board is at the moment discussing with the NIMC to work out the grey areas for seamless implementation in the next exercise,” Oloyede said.
