The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has shifted registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to Monday, February 3, 2025.
A statement signed by by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, noted that the registration was earlier scheduled to have commenced on Friday, January 31, 2025.
He said: “This change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates. These adjustments come in light of the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.
“Additionally, the Board discovered that some Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had used deceptive facilities to be approved, prompting the need for further scrutiny and corrections by disapproving such centres.
“The Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience. The additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.”
Meanwhile, JAMB has announced the suspension of admissions into the Law Faculty of Fountain University, Osogbo for the 2025/26 academic session.
This follows an additional submission from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), making Fountain University the ninth institution where JAMB would not be conducting admissions into the Law programme for the 2025/26 academic session.
JAMB had earlier disclosed that it would not process admissions for the Law programme in eight Nigerian universities owing to the suspension of their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the CLE.
“It is important to reiterate that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions, specifically the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions, based on the decision of the Council of Legal Education (CLE),” the Board said.
