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.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
