JAMB extends 2023 DE Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has deferred the closing date for the 2023 Direct Entry (DE) registration by one week.

This is gathered in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday by the board’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, after the board’s management meeting.

Benjamin said that the DE registration exercise, which commenced on Monday, March 20, 2023, and billed to end on Thursday, April 20, 2023, had been extended by one week starting from Friday, April 21, 2023.

According to him, the extension was partly to give all holders of Cambridge A/Level Certificates, who were unable to register for the exercise on account of some issues associated with the verification of their certificates another opportunity to do so.

He said it would as well accommodate others, who wish to register but were unable to do so within the stipulated time.

”It should be noted that in its bid to ensure the Cambridge A/L Certificate is onboarded in the verification process, the British Council is partnering with the board.
