CANDIDATES SEEKING ADMISSION INTO NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA AND OTHER OPEN DISTANCE LEARNING CENTRES MUST REGISTER VIA THE JOINT ADMISSIONS AND MATRICULATIONS BOARD

Individuals seeking to get admitted to the Nigerian Open University of Nigeria and other open distance learning centres are now mandated to register via the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, newsmen gathered on Monday.

The candidates are also expected to register with their unique National Identification Number. This move, newsmen learnt, was to checkmate nefarious activities. In an advisory released by JAMB and made available to journalists in Abuja, the Board promised to make the registration process as seamless as possible.

The advisory read that as part of measures to checkmate the nefarious activities of fraudulent characters, who are scheming to compromise candidates’ records through dubious registration channels and in compliance with its enabling act, JAMB has mandated that all applicants desirous of studying in Nigerian tertiary institutions must provide their
NIN while registering for any programme of study in any tertiary institutions in Nigeria irrespective of whether the mode of study is regular and non-regular.
