The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says there are no plans to close the direct entry (DE) registration on April 7.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Fabian Benjamin, spokesperson for JAMB, said the rumour circulating about the April 7 closure of DE registration is not true.
“The registration process, which began on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, will continue until a closing date is announced,” the statement reads.
“Therefore, candidates who wish to register can do so at any of the Board’s designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) on Monday and continuing until the official closing date is revealed.”
The JAMB spokesperson noted that “this liberalization of the registration period gives the Board time to complete ongoing investigations regarding candidates who are either arrested or under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration”,
“We strongly advise candidates with questionable credentials to refrain from participating in the registration process, as the Board has implemented measures to identify individuals with such credentials, both now and in the future,” he added.
He urged candidates who have previously used fraudulent results to withdraw voluntarily from the examination, noting that the board is expanding its investigations to include students who have already been admitted.
