JAMB soft pedals, gives candidates additional 48 hours to complete late registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
given two days to candidates who could not upload and
complete their registration process to do so.
The board, in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its
Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said its website would
be opened to candidates from midnight yesterday till
tomorrow's midnight for them to complete and upload all late
registration.
JAMB said the new development would not cover fresh
candidates, who were yet to begin the registration process.
The statement said arrangements have been made for the
start of the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations
(UTME).
The board urged all candidates to print their examination
slips to know the date of their examinations, venue and time
allotted to them.
The statement reads: "The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board hereby direct all candidates who have
initiated the process of registration for the 2016 UTME, but
couldn't upload and complete their registration process as at
Friday February 5, 2016 to do so within 48 hours starting
from 12 midnight on Tuesday February 23, 2016 when the
website will be opened to 12 midnight on Thursday February
25, 2016." (The Nation)
