With this, it was possible to register all desiring candidates within a few days.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHowever, less than 50,000 candidates were turning up for registration, which is less than the installed registration capacity. Surprisingly, in the last two days before the closing date, the pace picked up remarkably with over 100,000 candidates registering on a daily basis.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cFurthermore, the board, as a responsive and proactive agency, took cognisance of the reports from across the country, indicating some difficulties being faced by many Nigerians in using their electronic channels to purchase the ePINs or obtain cash readily within the stipulated period.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt has, as a consequence, granted this extension to ensure that all candidates who desire to register for the 2023 UTME are given the opportunity to do so, especially when the extant challenges are not of their own making.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: JAMB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the extension of registration by applicants for this year\u2019s Unified Tertiary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
