NIN REGISTRATION: Matters Arising.

by eprepng

The quest on NIN registration is now increased and highly important as applicants for the 2020 UTME will not be registered without it.

The board’s spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin has urged candidates to ensure they are have their NIN before the UTME registration which will commence in January 2020.

According to him, the NIN will aid the acquisition of the registration documents as it already entails the recording of an individual’s demographic data and capture of the 10 fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial picture and digital signature (which cannot be replicated or duplicated) as well as managing logistics and checking fraud.

He also forewarned that “No excuses will be entertained”.

Note that the minimum age for the NIN registration is 15; i.e. anyone below the age of 15 years cannot register for NIN and UTME.

Some fears have started arising from this demand of NIN registration based on the stress people undergo to get registered and to obtain the document. This issue was raised and one of the officials (name withheld) reassures the complainant that they are working to address and make sure everyone gets registered before UTME registration commences.

However, JAMB Spokesman, Dr Benjamin, said the board would work something out with NIMC.

He said: “We are talking with NIMC about the registration.  We have not come up with anything yet.  But we are looking at a situation whereby we can do the registration for the candidates. We are hoping we will come up with something that can be of mutual benefit to the candidates, NIMC and every other person involved.”

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has said it will no longer register candidates who do not have the National Identity Number for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

It warns that only intending candidates who have the NIN will be registered, beginning with the 2020 examination.

The examination body made this known via a series of tweets on its verified Twitter handle @JAMBHQ on Thursday·

“All Candidates wishing to take the 2020 UTME must have the National Identification Number (NIN). Prospective candidates are urged to visit the nearest @nimc_ng office for their capturing. The Board would ONLY register candidates with NIN.”
