➡️The board disclosed this in its Vol. 2 , No. 15 Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar and made it available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja.
👉🏻The board said that official dates for the commencement of the sale of both documents and the conduct of the examinations would be announced not later than March 24.
➡️According to JAMB , the 2021 exercise was delayed due to the COVID -19 pandemic.
👉🏻The board , therefore , warned that any ongoing sale of forms and registration was fraudulent and not associated with JAMB.
➡️This year’s exercise , unlike the previous years, is peculiar because of the series of disruptions to virtually all aspects of public life occasioned by the COVID - 19 pandemic.
👉🏻It is with this extant reality in mind that the delay is being experienced, with the board embarking on series of strategic adjustments , aimed at ensuring that academic activities are not unduly impacted.
➡️The public is to note that the 2021 UTME/DE application forms are not yet on sale. Anybody advertising anything to the contrary is a fraudster ,” it warned.
👉🏻The board, while reiterating its commitment to ensuring sanity in the entire process , also disclosed that it had apprehended one Mr Okogu Ambrose for illegally registering candidates.
➡️Ambrose, the board further explained , was caught after collecting monies from innocent candidates in the name of registering them for the yet to commence 2021/2022 UTME exercise.
👉🏻Ambrose is a serial offender, who was arrested in 2020 for extorting money for which he had no authority to execute.
➡️The board would, however, ensure that relevant security agencies prosecute Ambr
