The organisation said with the development, “ all requests for printing of admission letters , inter- university transfers , condonement of illegitimate admissions and other processes for previous years which had been hitherto suspended would now be restored from Monday , August 31 2020. ”
The Head of Media and Public Relations in JAMB , Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the announcement in a statement in Abuja on Sunday .
He said , “ To ensure that candidates who took the UTME prior to 2020, and who require certain corrections of their processes are accommodated , JAMB has lifted the suspension earlier placed on processes covering those years .
However , it is to be noted that most of these operations are only available at JAMB offices nationwide. Furthermore , as the Board is desirous of sustaining compliance with COVID -19 protocols , it maintains that 2020 UTME candidates desirous of these services will only be attended to through the Appointment Booking Platform which they could access online through their phones to secure a definite date and time for an appointment.
The Board urged all State offices to ensure that all clients comply with all existing COVID -19 protocols . To ensure that candidates who took the UTME prior to 2020, and who require certain corrections of their processes are accommodated , the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has lifted the suspension earlier placed on processes covering those years.
“ As you may be aware , the need to prevent overcrowding at its Computer – Based Test Centres and other partner facilities , in line with extant COVID – 19 protocols issued by relevant agencies, led it to allow candidates to seek corrections and other processes only through the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination or Direct Entry platforms . This measure had the intended effect of limiting the number of persons visiting the centres .
“ As the government continues to ease the lockdown leading to the resumption of students in exit classes , the number of 2020 UTME candidates needing one service or another at the various centres has drastically gone down, thus , the Board has decided to open up its platforms to accommodate more requests especially from previous years .
“ Therefore , all requests for printing of admission letters , inter- university transfers , condonement of illegitimate admissions and other processes for previous years which had been hitherto suspended would now be restored from Monday August 31 2020
