JAMB ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF REGISTRATION OF 2017 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board wishes to apologise to candidates and other stakeholders.  We  could  not  go  on  with  the  Mock  Examination  and  hereby announce extension  of  registration  exercise  of  the  2017  UTME.  Instead  of  the earlier announced April 19, the deadline for the sale of forms and registration will now extend to Friday, May 5, 2017. Consequently, the 2017 UTME has also been postponed to start on Saturday, May 13 – 20, 2017.

Meanwhile,  the  Mock  Examination  earlier  slated  for  Saturday,  April  8,  2017  has been put on hold. This is because the appropriate rehearsal and test-running of the new system has been substantially achieved.
The plan was to trial-test the readiness of  our  facilities  and  address  the  challenges  that  may  likely  confront  the  main examination. 

The  Mock  Examination  remains  free  for  willing  candidates,  even  the fee  due  to  the  CBT  centre  Owners  are  being  paid  by  JAMB.  No  cost  to  the candidates.

At this moment, we have realized that the plan to hold this Mock Examination was good for us. We are now in a better position to achieve better than we would have done  without  this  trial  testing.  This  is  why  the  exercise  is  at  no  cost  to  the candidates.
It  is  our  strong  conviction  that  this  exercise  is  an  experience  for  us.  Our  systems analysis has revealed interesting findings that will engender a seamless and successful 2017 UTME exercise.
On  behalf  of  JAMB,  we  use  this  opportunity  to  appreciate  our  stakeholders, including the candidates, for being part of this experiment. Every disappointment is a blessing, an old adage says. The blessing that will trail the suspension of this Mock Examination and extension of registration deadline will manifest in our main UTME by next month.

Once again, we appreciate and apologise to the candidates who chose to participate in  this  free  and  voluntary  Mock  Examination.  They  are  part  of  our  experience towards ensuring a fruitful and successful UTME this year and in future.

Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Change: The Phenomenal Ascent of Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka is a tennis player who has captivated the world with her skills and her story. Born in Japan to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother, Osaka began playing tennis at the age of three. Her family moved to the United States when she was just three years old, and it was there that she developed her love for the sport. Osaka's rise to the top of the tennis world has been nothing short of spectacular. Her breakthrough came at the 2018 US Open, where she defeated her idol Serena Williams in the final to win her first Grand Slam title. Williams received a code violation for coaching and a point penalty for smashing her racket, which marred her victory. Even though there was a lot of trouble, Osaka became a star because of how well she handled herself under pressure. She became the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam singles title, and her win catapulted her into the international spotlight. Osaka's success continued in 2019, as she won the Australian Open to claim...
