JAMB Registers 13,018 Candidates in Jigawa as Students Face Registration Challenges

By Fly Cable News

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has registered 13,018 candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) in Jigawa State.

JAMB’s Public Relations Officer, Mukarram Bello Adamu, stated that the registration was conducted across 12 approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers, including the JAMB head office in Dutse, Federal University Dutse, Binyamin Usman Polytechnic, and Sule Lamido University, among others.

Nationwide, a total of 1,290,715 candidates have been registered. However, many candidates in Jigawa faced difficulties, with some spending two to three days waiting due to the limited number of centers. Some reported sleeping in mosques and on the streets while trying to complete their registration.

Candidates urged the Jigawa State Government to establish more CBT centers to ease the registration process and accommodate the growing number of applicants.
