The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced one of their major requirements for prospective 2020 UTME candidates.
All 2020 UTME prospective candidates are expected to obtain their National identity Number before they can be permitted to partake the 2020 UTME exams.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, who is the head of Media and Information advised the prospective candidates in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday. He said :
“We want to further appeal and remind all prospective candidates on the need to get themselves registered centrally under the NIN scheme.
“They must consider this as compulsory if they intend to participate in the examination when the time comes.
“There is no other means of acquiring our registration documents for the examination except through the NIN and that is why we are calling on them now to intensify efforts in getting registered to avoid “had I known’’.
“No excuses will be entertained and that is the essence of this constant reminder so that nobody will be left out,’’
Benjamin also appealed to parents to give their children and wards free hands in choosing their future career rather than impose theirs wishes on them.

He went on to say, “Parents should stop forcing some particular careers on their children just because of some selfish reasons.
“They should be allowed to make their choices because this way, we get to see the best from them.
“Some after trying to satisfy the wish of their parents, end up not turning out well or use it positively.
“They end up taking to other vices because they are already feeling frustrated with life by not achieving that dream that they initially had,’’
