JAMB Begins Accreditation Process for 2025 UTME Centers
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially launched the accreditation of centres for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), marking an essential phase in the preparations for the nationwide exam.
JAMB, which oversees admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria, emphasized that this accreditation is mandatory for both new and existing Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres.
The Board’s Director of Communications, Dr Fabian Benjamin, outlined the steps in a statement.
He highlighted the significance of ensuring the centres meet strict standards to deliver a seamless examination experience.
New centres seeking approval must first visit JAMB’s official website to access the detailed requirements for establishing a CBT centre.
These include technical specifications, infrastructure needs, and operational guidelines.
Additionally, interested centres must formally notify JAMB in writing of their intent to participate in the accreditation process.
Letters should be addressed to the Registrar of JAMB through the respective Zonal Director or State Coordinator in the centre’s location.
For centres that were accredited and participated in the 2024 UTME without any reported issues, the process is more straightforward.
These centres are required to register their interest via JAMB’s Centre Management System (CMS) Portal.
The portal serves as a hub for all interactions related to the accreditation exercise, enabling seamless communication between JAMB and the centres.
To ensure readiness for the physical accreditation exercise, JAMB has introduced an Autobot/Autotest system.
This automated test is designed to evaluate the technical and operational capabilities of the centres.
According to JAMB, this test is a non-negotiable step, and only centres that pass it will proceed to the next stage of the accreditation process.
Centres that fail to meet the required standards during the Autobot/Autotest phase will be excluded from the physical accreditation, scheduled for December 2024.
During the physical accreditation, JAMB officials will visit qualifying centres to inspect their facilities, including the availability of functional computers, a reliable internet connection, and adequate security measures.
Centres that meet the rigorous requirements will be approved and included in the 2025 UTME registration and examination process.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
