The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has come out to warn Nigerian students against falling prey to fraudsters and rumour mongers.

The board recently revealed this via a weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to JAMB, 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms are not up for sale yet, and no date has been announced for the exercise.

JAMB added that the clarification became necessary after the several fake news that the board has begun the sale.

His words, “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.”
