The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has already registered over 300,000 candidates for its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in just seven days.
The Board’s Head, Media and Information, Fabian Benjamin, made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, in Lagos.
Mr Benjamin said this was coming a week after the commencement of the registration exercise.
NAN reports that the board commenced registration of candidates for the 2019 all Computer Based Test (CBT) on Jan.10 and it would close on February 21.
According to him, the registration so far has been seamless, and the board is happy with the development.
“We are happy with the way the process is going; we hope it will continue this way.
“So far, we have registered over 300,000 candidates, as at Thursday.
“We are happy there have not been issues because so far, there is just a tiny gap between the number of candidates that have acquired the e-pin and that of those that have registered,” he said.
Meanwhile, JAMB has insisted that all candidates with issues of biometrics must go over to Abuja for it to be rectified.
