NIN IS SUSPENDED FOR 2020 UTME/DE REGISTRATION. CANDIDATES ARE TO ONLY SEND THEIR NAMES TO 55019 TO CREATE PROFILE. NO NEED FOR NIN FOR 2020 REGISTRATION
WHAT IS NIN (NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER)
(NIN), NIN is a set of numbers assigned to an individual upon successful enrollment. The NIN is used to tie all records about an individual in the database and is also used to establish or verify his/her identity by the Federal republic of Nigeria.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board approved the uses of NIN for the first time in Nigeria, and bid whosoever without NIN isn’t eligible for JAMB Registration.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) as a requirement for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration. The suspension also affected the Direct Entry registration for the year, Punch reports.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has suspended its partnership with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) in the conduct of the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) over incompetencies from NIMC or its partners.
JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who announced the development in Abuja on Saturday, said the decision was as result of inadequacies that would significantly affect the success of the 2020 UTME and Direct Entry.
He asked candidates to disregard the use of NIMC for the 2020 registration and strictly comply with other procedures in the registration. He, however, said that JAMB will consider the use of NIMC in 2021 exercise.
He said: “JAMB will no consider NIMC as prerequisite for 2020 registration due to some shortcomings that would greatly affect our operations. We had entered into the agreement with NIMC with the view to eradicate identity theft and other things but that has been defeated.”
NIMC Director General Aliyu Azee, appreciated the partnership so far and promised to improve on its facilities ahead of 2021 exercise.
