NIN To Delay 2024 JAMB UTME Registration – Dr. Fabian Benjamin: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, on Monday, stated that pre-examination activities, including registration for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would start late due to forces beyond its control.
The board also defended its decision to enforce the National Identity Number requirement in the registration process. The spokesman for the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the clarifications.

“Most of the board’s pre-examination activities, including the 2024 UTME registration, are starting late owing to some circumstances beyond our control. We are, however, ready to do all that is necessary not only to meet up with the schedule, but also to make the 2024 UTME registration and examination the best so far,” he said.
The board stated in its weekly bulletin published on Monday that its decision to implement the NIN was a game-changer in the fight against impersonation.
Benjamin said, “The introduction of the NIN in UTME registration in 2024 by the board was a game-changer in the fight against impersonation and other examination infractions. It is to be noted that the decision to adopt the NIN was a very difficult one given the various challenges and opposition from many quarters to the policy.
“However, the board, seeing the many benefits associated with the deployment of the NIN, took the unpopular but beneficial decision, knowing that any departure from the norm would, more often than not, be met with initial opposition and rejection, and was, therefore, understandably undeterred in its chosen course of action.”
