The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a warning to the public to be wary of con artists and rumor mongers.
InsightnaijaTV reports that the board issued the warning in a weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar, where it stated that the sale of the 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms has yet to begin.
“JAMB reiterates that it has not begun the sale of its 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) application forms, neither have it announced a date for the exercise. The clarification became necessary following fake news that the board has began the sale and was urging prospective applicants to procure same from some nebulous selling outlets. The public is to note that the news of the purported sale of the registration forms is false and an attempt to mislead the public.”
The board also stated that it has established specific channels for connecting with the public and that no one or group of people has been assigned to handle the selling of the forms.
It went on to say that after the process was planned, the public will be properly notified about the start of the exercise via appropriate media venues.
