JAMB Investigates Fraud, Extends Direct Entry Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has clarified that the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) registration will not be closing on Monday, April 7, 2025, as being speculated.

JAMB in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, stated that the registration process, which began on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, will continue until a closing date is announced.

The board urged candidates who wish to register to do so at designated registration centres.

“Therefore, candidates who wish to register can do so at any of the Board’s designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) on Monday and continuing until the official closing date is revealed,” Benjamin said.

He noted that the board was conducting an investigation on candidates with fake A-level results and urged people with questionable credentials to refrain from participating in the registration process.

“This liberalization of the registration period allows the Board to complete ongoing investigations into candidates who have been arrested or are under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration.

“We strongly advise candidates with questionable credentials to refrain from participating in the registration process, as the Board has implemented measures to identify individuals with such credentials, both now and in the future.

“If you have previously used fraudulent results, we urge you to withdraw voluntarily, as the Board is expanding its investigations to include students who have already been admitted,” he said.
