The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has issued a stern warning to registration centers across Nigeria against conducting nighttime registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), citing security concerns.

JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, stated that while the board acknowledges the centers’ efforts to accommodate more candidates, these efforts must not compromise candidates’ safety.

Consequently, ten centers have been specifically cautioned, including Thomas Adewumi University (Kwara), CBT Centre Otukpo (Benue), and Ebenezer International School (Rivers), among others.

This warning serves as a final notice, with JAMB emphasizing that any further violations will attract decisive action. The board reiterated its commitment to ensuring a secure, fair, and transparent registration process and urged centers to prioritize candidates’ welfare over profit.

JAMB Urges Parents to Refrain from Baseless Admission Allegations

JAMB has cautioned parents against making unfounded accusations against universities over admission decisions, emphasizing that UTME scores alone do not guarantee admission.

The board cited recent cases, including a father’s public outcry against the University of Calabar for denying his child admission.

Investigations, however, revealed that the candidate’s aggregate score fell below the university’s cut-off.

Similarly, claims of unfair admission processes at Modibbo Adama University and the University of Jos were debunked after thorough reviews.

JAMB reaffirmed that its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), ensures transparency and fairness in admissions.

It urged parents to seek clarifications through the board’s official channels rather than resorting to public condemnation.

Additionally, the board expressed concern over the excessive number of candidates applying under the “exceptionally brilliant” category for underage candidates, warning against unrealistic parental expectations.

JAMB remains committed to upholding merit-based admissions and will take legal action against any individuals involved in admission fraud.
