The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board, JAMB, has disclosed that National Identity Number, NIN,
issued by the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, would be used for
the conduct of 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq
Oloyede made the disclosure while receiving the Director of the Bureau of
Public Service Reforms, Dasuki Arabi at the board headquarters in Abuja.
Disclosing that the introduction
of the NIN to UTME was in line with the directive of the Federal Government
that NIMC should be the primary data collection centre, Oloyede stated that the
move would guard against all forms of registration infractions.
The registrar said the board has
concluded arrangements with the NIMC to use NIN number as a pilot for 2020
UTME.
In a statement by the agency’s
Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Oloyede said the board would use both
the NIN number and its Computer Based Test Centres for the 2020 UTME
registration.
He said: “In view of the
compliance with the Federal Government’s directive that the NIMC should be the
primary data collection centre, the board will be using the NIM number of
prospective candidates for registration in the next exercise.
“The board is at the moment
discussing with the NIMC to work out the grey areas for seamless implementation
in the next exercise.”
