The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the 2024 Direct Entry registration by two weeks.
This, the examination body said, is to enable all intending candidates to register.
JAMB Public Communication Advisor (PCA), Dr Fabian Benjamin, made this known in a statement on Saturday.
He informed that the Board commenced the 2024 Direct Entry on February 28 and was to have concluded it on March 28.
However, further consideration, according to Benjamin, made the body extend the exercise by two weeks from March 28, 2024, to April 11, 2024.
He stated that the 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 candidates.
He apologised, on behalf of the Board, for any inconveniences caused prospective DE candidates and pledged that the process would be made more user-friendly.
