The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Monday said that the provision of email addresses is now compulsory for 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration beginning from Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the of Public Affairs and Protocols said this in a statement that no will be registered henceforth without a valid email address provided.
Benjamin said although registration is ongoing but going forward, the new development would ensure that the process of capturing all relevant data pertaining to the candidates was more flexible and easy, adding however that the board would not retrieve lost email passwords or change email addresses for candidates once registered.
It also added that the latest advisory would facilitate the transmission of urgent and vital communication to candidates cheaply and more efficiently.
The statement read in parts “Furthermore, e-mail provides more flexibility in communication and is a more professional way of reaching out to candidates.
“Candidates are, therefore, advised to get their genuine e-mail addresses before proceeding with UTME registration.
“In addition, candidates are to ensure that their passwords are kept securely as the board does not retrieve lost e-mail passwords or change e-mail addresses once registered.”
