The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has told prospective candidates that the examination body has not commenced the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) forms.
The board gave the warning in a statement signed by the JAMB Head of Media and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Thursday.
Benjamin, who noted that any claims that the sale of the examination forms had commenced was fraudulent and should be disregarded, said the board has not fixed a date to commence the sale of the forms.
The JAMB spokesman warned prospective candidates to be mindful of speculators who are in the habit of second-guessing the board’s on certain procedural issues with the aim of defrauding hapless candidates.
Benjamin stated: “The attention of JAMB has been drawn to the activities of unwholesome elements who had been misleading the general public on the purported commencement of the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry application documents.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but is a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.

“It should be noted that the commencement of the sale of the Board’s application documents in any given year has never been shrouded in mystery rather it is always a well-publicised undertaking in the print media as well as online and electronic platforms.
“Although the Board has concluded all arrangements to commence the sale of the 2022 UTME/DE Application Documents in due course it is yet to fix any date for its commencement.
“The general public is, therefore, by this notice urged to be mindful of speculators who are in the habit of second-guessing the Board’s on certain procedural issues with the aim of defrauding hapless candidates.”
He added that the general public would be sufficiently informed of the commencement of the sale of E-Pins once approval has been granted by relevant authorities.
The JAMB spokesman further noted that the announcement of a suitable date to commence the sale would be accompanied by well-defined information on the procedures for the purchase of the e-pins, creating a profile, and where to go for biometric capturing, among other essential details.
