The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on
Sunday, said that it is considering a new date, for the commencement of 2020
admission exercise.
This follows the recent changes in the academic calendar for
secondary students, particularly those in exiting classes.
JAMB had initially announced August 22, but will meet with
stakeholders on Monday to review on the possibility of a new date.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement said
that “as a responsive organisation whose mantra is equity and fairness, the
Board desires that every aspiring candidate who had taken its 2020 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) be given equal opportunity to compete
with peers for the available openings.
“This is the reason for another meeting with all the
institutions with a view to amending the earlier and mutually-agreed date for
the conduct of Post-UTME screening and other processes.”
It added that “such solutions, when arrived at, would then
be forwarded to the relevant Ministries or Agencies for further inputs and
necessary approvals.
