      The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has suspended the mandatory use of the National Identity Number, NIN, for the 2020 UTME registration. This is for both the UTME and Direct Entry candidates.

  However, it was made known by the JAMB registrar that the suspension doesn't affect their permanent and adhoc staff that will participate in this year exercise, saying they are all required to submit their NIN for verification.

  The JAMB boss, prof Oloyede made this known in a press conference on Friday in Abuja at the board's headquarter.

  According to Oloyede, the board came to this position due to some technical issues and stakeholders concerns.

 He added, it was no longer realistic and attainable for all prospective candidates to get their NIN before the closing date (17th February, 2020) and that the board would not like to inflict more pain on candidates.

  UTME applicants are hereby adviced to take notice of this information.
