NIN Requirement Drops Jamb Revenue

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has faulted the National Identification Number requirement, as one of the criteria needed for UTME registration as the cause of drop in the revenue it generated from the sale of forms for the 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examinations and the Direct Entry Examinations.

According to the Director of Press and Public Relations, Dr Fabian Benjamin, NIN requirement made it impossible for some prospective candidates to register.

He said further that it led to the reduction in number of registered candidates vis-a-vis the proceeds generated from sales of forms.

According to the board, it earlier announced that it generated N5,887,628,900 from the sale of forms for the 2021 UTME/DE.

The figure is lower than the N6,563,086,710 the board generated from forms in 2020.

The sum generated from the sale of forms was obtained under the financial inflow column of the board’s weekly bulletins for April and May 2021.
