The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Is’aq Oloyede, has said 600,000 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination applicants are unable to register for the exam due to inability to obtain their National Identification Numbers.
Oloyede said the board would on Saturday (today) decide if there was the need to extend the registration period and change the exam date due to the challenge.
Oloyede said this on Friday at a Zoom meeting titled, ‘Briefing session for the committees on 2021 UTME.’ The exam had been slated to hold between June 5 and 19.
