The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says it has not commenced the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, and Direct Entry forms.
The Board’s Head of Media and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who confirmed this therefore warned the public to disregard any other information with regard to the sale of forms.
Although the Board stated that it had concluded plans to commence the sale of the UTME and DE forms, it added that no date had been fixed.
JAMB noted that the date for the commencement of sale of the forms had never been shrouded in mystery hence, it is always published on both print and digital media.
Benjamin said, “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to the activities of unwholesome elements who had been misleading the general public on the purported commencement of the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry application documents.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but is a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.
“It should be noted that the commencement of the sale of the Board’s application documents in any given year has never been shrouded in mystery rather it is always a well-publicised undertaking in the print media as well as online and electronic platforms.
