JAMB to Partner with NCC on Customized SIMS for UTME Registration
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed a partnership with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on the provision of a customized Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) for the registration of candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination going forward. The Board in its Weekly Bulletin stated that the use of the customized SIM which will be introduced in 2025 is aimed at addressing the perennial challenges of theft or missing SIM. The Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this during a visit of a delegation of the West Africa Civil Societies Forum (WACSOF) to his office. According to the Registrar, the customized SIMs would only be used for UTME registration and would be accessible to only parents with an expiry date of five years.
