UTME 2020: JAMB to Use National Identity Number for Registration

Get stories like these delivered straight to your inbox.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has disclosed that the national identity number will be used for the conduct of 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in line with the directive of the federal government that NIMC should be the primary data collection centre.
The registrar, in a statement by the agency’s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in Abuja, said the board has concluded arrangements with the NIMC to use NIN number as a pilot for 2020 UTME.

“National Identity Number (NIN) issued by the National Identity Management Commission will be used by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for the conduct of 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME),” he said.

“In view of the compliance with the federal government’s directive that the NIMC should be the primary data collection centre, the board will be using the NIM number of prospective candidates for registration in the next exercise,” he added.

The board is at the moment discussing with the NIMC to work out the grey areas for seamless implementation in the next exercise.

using of National ID card for jamb in my view will reduce this year jamb candidates because I think if this men hod is going to work, government should make it be convenient for them by advising those people in charge the reg of National ID to be register at least 100 students in a day but some are just registers for just 15 students in a day while there are about 200 to 300 students on ground.
please my own advise jamb should not use national ID card in this year .
Thanks
