2025 UTME: JAMB warns against night registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned registration centres and prospective candidates against night registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

JAMB gave the warning via a statement signed by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Benjamin noted that though the Board
appreciates the enthusiasm of some registration centres to accommodate as many candidates as possible, it should however never come at the cost of the candidates’ safety and security ahead of the 2025 UTME.

While issuing a stern warning to listed registration centres engaged in the practice, JAMB called on any others that may consider engaging in similar practices to immediately cease these activities.

Benjamin stated: “This publication serves as a final warning to these centres, as no further notices will be issued before JAMB takes decisive action to address this issue.

“JAMB will not tolerate any violations of the regulations governing the registration process and will take appropriate measures against any centre engaged in questionable or exploitative practices during this exercise.

“The Board remains committed to monitoring the registration process to ensure strict adherence to all guidelines, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the exercise and promoting fairness and equity in the registration process.

“JAMB urges centres to prioritize the well-being of our nation’s youth over mere profit margins.”
