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.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
