JAMB 2017 Examinations To Hold In May
announced that the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) will hold in May 2017.
This was made known by the JAMB spokesperson, Fabian
Benjamin, through the Board’s Twitter handle @jambhq
According to him, actual dates will be announced soon. He
also advised candidates to beware of false dates and
fraudsters.
“2017 UTME is scheduled to hold in May 2017. Actual dates
will be announced soon. Beware of false dates and
fraudsters,” he said.
Meanwhile, JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has explained
why an unusual delay has preceded the sales of application
forms.
He said the ongoing switch-over in the major thrust of the sale
of form which is the scratch card to direct payment into the
Treasury Single Account (TSA) was responsible for the delay.
Oloyede said: “We are changing the major trust of the sale
which is the scratch card. Candidates used to buy scratch
cards to access the forms online and that has been abused
thoroughly.
“What we want to do is for students to pay directly to
government coffers and we are working out the process of
doing so to avoid the type of abuse that it has been subjected
to. So, we want to sell directly and to make sure that
candidates pay into TSA account.”
