concluded all arrangements to commence the sale of 2021/2022

(DE) registration forms.

Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.

The board said that official dates for the commencement of the
sale of both documents and the conduct of the examinations would be
announced not later than March 24.
According to JAMB, the 2021 exercise was delayed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The board, therefore, warned that any ongoing sale of forms and
registration was fraudulent and not associated with JAMB.
“This year’s exercise, unlike the previous years, is peculiar
because of the series of disruptions to virtually all aspects of
public life occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It is with this extant reality in mind that the delay is being
experienced, with the board embarking on series of strategic
adjustments, aimed at ensuring that academic activities are not
unduly impacted.
“The public is to note that the 2021 UTME/DE application forms
are not yet on sale. Anybody advertising anything to the contrary
is a fraudster,” it warned.
The board, while reiterating its commitment to ensuring sanity
in the entire process, also disclosed that it had apprehended one
Mr Okogu Ambrose for illegally registering candidates.
Ambrose, the board further explained, was caught after
collecting monies from innocent candidates in the name of
registering them for the yet-to-commence 2021/2022 UTME
exercise.
“Ambrose is a serial offender, who was arrested in 2020 for
extorting money for which he had no authorisation to execute.
“The board would, however, ensure that relevant security
agencies prosecute Ambrose with the hope that he does not escape
the long arm of the law this time,” it stated.
JAMB also appealed to all and sundry to support its drive
towards ensuring that bad eggs in the society, who were bent on
destroying education developmental aspirations, were made to face
the full wrath of the law.
