Furthermore, JAMB is actively addressing concerns regarding candidates with multiple National Identification Numbers (NIN) and is set to collaborate with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to resolve these issues.
In the pursuit of global outreach, JAMB conducts examinations in nine foreign centers, including Abidjan, Addis Ababa, Buea, Cotonou, London, Jeddah, and Johannesburg. This initiative not only promotes Nigerian institutions internationally but also enhances the universality of academic traditions.
As the examination board fine-tunes arrangements for the conduct of the 2024 UTME in these foreign centers, further details will be provided in due course.
