JAMB To Conduct UTME In United States, Other Foreign Countries

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has declared arrangements to build up more examination focuses in the Diaspora to provide food for competitors willing to think about in Nigeria. 

The statement was made by the board's Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a meeting with pressmen on Saturday in Lagos.

Mr Benjamin clarified that the board is resolved to guarantee that more applicants are given the chance to compose the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) inside and outside the nation.

As per him, it was likewise to guarantee that the examination was conveyed nearer to a few hopefuls who had limitations coming down to Nigeria to sit for the examination.

He said:-

We have plans of conducting this examination in more foreign countries like the U.S. and a few others.

We are working with the embassies of such countries which are our contacts for the project. “The possibility of getting this actualised depends on how fast they are able to transact the arrangement and the level of sensitisation.

On our part, we are ready. All what it takes to conduct the examination successfully are fully on ground.

The 2016 Computer Based Test (CBT) was conducted in eight countries alongside the one conducted in the country.

Countries such as Cameroun, Saudi Arabia, U.K., Ghana, Republic of Benin and a few others are where the board is currently conducting its examination.
