The JOINT ADMISSION AND MATRICULATION BOARD,(JAMB) has advised all tertiary institutions to suspend plans of holding all Post UTME to a later date to be decided after the conclusion of NECO
examinations.

In a statement signed by Dr Halilu Bakori Mohammed,
Director Admissions,
it reads.

2020 POST UTME SCREENING

Kindly refer to the agreement reached at the meeting held between the JAMB Registrar and all
Heads of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria on 10th of August, 2020. You will recall that It was
resolved that unless where extremely necessary, all Post UTME screenings were to be held after
the 18th of November when NECO examinations would have been concluded.
It has however come to the knowledge of the Board that NECO has postponed one of its
examinations which may eventually affect the release of results, and these results are expected to
be considered in the screening. In addition, when a new date is decided for the postponed
examination, it may clash with some of the screening dates already decided to come up
immediately after the 18th of November. Added to this challenge is the current security situation
in the country.

In view of the foregoing, the Board advises all Heads of Institutions, and especially the public
institutions, who had earlier scheduled their Post UTME to come up immediately after 18th
November to kindly suspend the plan to a later date to be decided after the conclusion of NECO
examinations.
This will give all candidates equal opportunity to attend the screening, for fairness and justice.
