No be small matter wey dey happen for education side as JAMB don yan say all dem undergraduates wey wan register for 2026 UTME gatz declare dia matriculation status. Di board don clear di air, say no be wahala for any undergrad to write di exam while e dey for school, but e must make am known say e don matriculate before. Na wetin di JAMB mouthpiece, Fabian Benjamin, tok for one statement wey dem drop.
According to Benjamin, di tori wey dey fly say undergraduates no fit register na big lie. Di koko be say if person don enter one school before, e gatz show am for registration. E put am clear, ‘For di avoidance of doubt, if you don enter school, you gatz talk am during registration, otherwise you fit collect wahala.’ Na wetin e mean be say you no fit carry two admission at di same time!
Some students don dey shout sey di new policy dey restrict dem, but JAMB don fire back say dem no dey bar anybody from applying for UTME again. Wetin dis policy just dey do na to make sure say nobody dey grab admission wey dem no wan. E dey important for fairness. E no make sense say one person go dey hold two admission wey go block another person wey dey fine space.
Also, dem don observe say e get some undergraduates wey dey shine shine for UTME, dey even dey help others to write am. Oloyede dey vex sey this kain kwik-fix no dey allowed because e fit lead dem into trouble. If dem catch you, no be only your future admission you go lose, your current one fit follow you go house too!
And make I no forget to mention di dates wey dey come. Di sales of UTME application documents don start since January 19, and di main registration go end by February 28. So anybody wey wan enter, this na di time!’ E no go dey easy, but make you no slack!
As for dem underaged candidates, JAMB no wan hear say you dey under 16 years old when you dey apply. If you no up to age, you fit still get chance as long as you show sey you sabi book well, dem fit consider you for waiver. Di marks wey you go need na nothing less than 80 percent in your exams. Dem dey serious about dis things now!
JAMB also don cancel any extra benefits wey dem dey give some special candidates, especially for albinism, because some people don misuse di arrangement. Dis na dem way to make sure sey everything dey square!
So my people, if you dey plan to write UTME this year, make sure sey you disclose all your necessary info. No be to shine for social media only, but make sure sey you also read di guidelines well before you rush apply. No be everything wey dem dey talk for street na wetin dey happen for di main side. Make wahala no find you!
