The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned against the practice of nocturnal (nighttime) registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination by registration centres across the country.
The JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Sunday, said the board expressed concerns over the safety and security of prospective candidates, cautioning the affected centres to immediately cease such activities.
“While JAMB appreciates the enthusiasm of these centres to accommodate as many candidates as possible, this should never come at the cost of the candidates’ safety and security,” the statement read.
JAMB said the statement serves as a final warning, as no further notices will be issued before appropriate action is taken against violators.

The board reiterated its commitment to ensuring fairness and transparency in the registration process, urging all centres to prioritise the well-being of candidates over financial gains.
“JAMB will not tolerate any violations of the regulations governing the registration process and will take appropriate measures against any centre engaged in questionable or exploitative practices during this exercise,” the statement read.
Also, the board said it remains committed to monitoring the registration process to ensure strict adherence to all guidelines, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the exercise and promoting fairness and equity in the registration process.
