The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned the public not to fall prey to fraudsters and rumour mongers.
Naija News reports that the board gave the advice on a weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar, where it said that it has yet to begin the sale of the 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms.
“JAMB reiterates that it has not began sale of its 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) application forms, neither has it announced a date for the exercise. The clarification became necessary following fake news that the board has began the sale and was urging prospective applicants to procure same from some nebulous selling outlets. The public is to note that the news of purported sale of the registration forms is false and an attempt to mislead the public.”
The board also noted that it has specified channels of communicating to the public and has not appointed any persons or group of persons to handle the sale of the forms.
It added that the public would be duly informed on the commencement of the exercise via appropriate media platforms once it was done planning the process.
