JAMB rule out the possibility of extending the period slated for registration

  

   Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has ruled out the possibility of extending the period slated for registration of the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.

   This was disclosed by the Registrar of the examination body, Professor Ishaq Oloyode, during a monitoring exercise to some of the Computer Based Centres accredited by JAMB for the conduct of the examination.
   Speaking with newsmen, Oloyode said about 40 per cent had so far registered for the examination since its commencement two weeks ago, while assuring that the expected number of candidates would be registered within the remaining period.
   The JAMB boss said there are 650 registration centres across the country, advising the candidates to patronize accredited centres, insisting that the examination body would not reverse to its old way of registration.
