In preparation for the 2023 Census, the Joint Admissions Board (JAMB) has postponed the continuation of the ongoing Direct Entry Enrollment (DE).
In a statement provided on Sunday, the Public Affairs Committee and Protocol, Board Chairman, Fabian Benjamin, announced the postponement. He said registration for DE, which was due to be completed in April, will now be closed on May 6. This is due to the national census exercise scheduled for the 3rd to the 5th of May 2023.
The Board also directed all candidates desiring to register for the DE exercise to obtain the DE ePINs from designated vending outlets before the 30th of April closing date. And proceed to the Board’s offices from the 6th to the 13th of May to complete their registration procedure.
The JAMB Board also reassured candidates desirous of DE registration that none would be denied the opportunity to register. Provided they comply with the Board’s directives and within the stipulated time frame, they can register when the time is right. Furthermore, the Board solicits the understanding of candidates as it puts in place some innovative measures aimed at checking the incidence of falsification of results, data and other infractions.
