DE registration will close April 11
With the extension, the 2024 Direct Entry registration will no longer close on Thursday, March 28, 2024 but on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
“This extension became necessary following the challenges faced by candidates in going through some of the security screening measures put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some DE candidates.
“The Board apologises for the inconveniences caused prospective DE candidates and pledges that, going forward, the process would be made more user-friendly.”
As reported by Leadership, explained that the screening measure was put in place to arrest the rampant and embarrassing cases of fake A’level certificates being paraded by some Direct Entry candidates.
Benjamin added that JAMB will not compromise on its determination to ensure that candidates with dubious certificates are fish out.
