The Joint Admissions And Matriculation Board (JAMB) has vowed to make the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) the best so far.
In its weekly bulletin released last Monday in Abuja, the board said going forward, it is reasonable to expect that 2022 might turn out to be a very engaging year as most of the Board’s pre- examination activities are starting late owing to some circumstances beyond its control.
Giving stock of its activities in 2021, JAMB said the introduction of the National Identification Number (NIN) as a key requirement for UTME registration through its partnership with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) was a game-changer in the fight against impersonation and other examination infractions.
It is to be noted that the decision to adopt NIN was a very difficult one given the various challenges and opposition from many quarters to the policy.
“However, the Board, seeing the many benefits associated with the deployment of NIN, took the unpopular but beneficial decision knowing that any departure from the norm would, more often than not, be met with initial opposition and rejection and was, therefore, understandably undeterred in its chosen course of action.
“Consequently, the Board gave its all to ensure that it secured the support of stakeholders and the result was the tremendous success it recorded in the 2021 UTME.”
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) admission list for the 2021/2022 session is now on JAMB CAPS. This is to inform all candidates who participated in the 2021/2022 Post-UTME that they can proceed to check if their names are on the Provisional Admission list of successful candidates.
The list of admitted candidates have been uploaded online via JAMB CAPS
To ensure a successful outing in the upcoming 2022 UTME Registration and Examination exercises, the Information Technology Services Department of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has completed all necessary arrangements to release the list of approved Computer-Based Test centres.
At an interactive session with all the Heads of Divisions of the Department on Tuesday, 4th January 2022, Mr Fabian Okoro, the Director, reiterated the Board’s determination to have a hitch-free registration and examination exercise.

Micheal Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Anambra, has applied to the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board to enable the university adjusts its cut-off marks for 2021/2022 admissions from 160 down to 140 points.
The Registrar of the University, Jacinta Ogwo-Agu, had in a press release said, “All candidates who chose Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike as their first choice and scored between 140 and 159 in the last JAMB examinations should register for PUTME screening in the MOUAU portal”. She added, “Candidates who did not choose MOUAU but are interested in its courses can do a change of institution and also register for screening”.
All efforts through WhatsApp and text messages to get the Registrar to explain the reasons for the adjustment were ignored by her.
However, responding after a series of phone calls, she said she would forward the press release to the correspondent, adding that the reasons for the adjustment are contained in the release. As of the time of filing this report, Ogwo-Agu is yet to send the release.
However, the Vice-Chancellor, Maduebibisi Iwe told The PUNCH, “The University made a request from JAMB and until JAMB approves that, we will not grant any interview”.
Inside information revealed that all is not well with the university as more candidates now shun the school over courses of study
Reducing cut-off marks, the source said, was a way of increasing student admission quota.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has not commenced the sale of 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) application forms.
The board, in a statement by its Spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Thursday in Abuja, dismissed speculation and misinformation in some quarters that the examination forms were now on sale.
Benjamin said that the attention of the board had been drawn to the activities of unwholesome elements misleading the general public on the purported commencement of the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE application documents.
”For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the board that the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.
”It should be noted that the commencement of the sale of the application documents in any given year has never been shrouded in mystery rather it is always a well-publicised undertaking in the print media, online and electronic platforms.
”Although, the board has concluded all arrangements to commence the sale of the 2022 UTME/DE Application Documents in due course but it is yet to fix any date for its commencement.
The general public is therefore, by this notice urged to be mindful of speculators who are in the habit of second-guessing the board’s on certain procedural issues with the aim of defrauding hapless candidates,” he said.
The spokesperson further said that the public would be sufficiently informed of the commencement of the sale of E-Pins once approval had been granted by relevant authorities.
A lecturer at the Department of Educational Management, Faculty of Education, Mr. Olawole Olaniyi Joseph has shown his interest to represent Ojo Federal Constituency at the House of Representative in the general elections in 2023.
He made the declaration at the annual end of the year party organized by his team at his home in Etegbin, Ojo, Lagos State.
According to him, the motivation was borne out of passion for good governance. “I have taken that decision and I know that the financial implication of contesting for house representative is so huge bur definitely the quest from our people for a good representation take us this far.
“To be candid with you teachers don’t have money and I am one of them but I can assure you that my supporters have given their backing financially, morally, physically even mentally to make it a reality.”
Olawole explained further that with his experience at the grass root, he knows what the community wants and will be willing to bring it to them.
“I am a grassroot man, I come from the streets and grew up from the streets. We belong to everybody despite the fact that I lecture, I still tell them I belong to them.
“As a teacher and as a lecturer we have three jobs, teaching, researches and community service. That has engage us in the past through community service to ensure that we move close to our people because we are from the grassroot, we own the grassroot. We are not into money bag politics and I can assure you that the grass root will vote and support us immensely.
“To be candid with you, we are four in the race and all of the others have contested in different categories and have represented the people.
He continued: “Looking at these caliber of people, it gives me joy. It tells me that competing with people of that caliber can make me grow faster. More so, these three other opponents still kneel down to beg God. So because I am begging God and they are also begging God, God will give it to us.”
On his job as a lecturer, the candidate said constitutionally, he should be resigning his job to contest and that he is not scared of.
“I am still very young, the PhD will soon come. Still very marketable and I can tell you that you can get job fast and there are a lot of things I can venture into that can give us living.
“So, I will be resigning from LASU, from the teaching job because of my passion for teaching. Even if I emerge and become the member House of Representative, representing my constituency Ojo, I will still be teaching and no matter how long I stay in politics, I will fall back to teaching. Teaching is a passion. It is something I enjoy doing at all times because I am a born teacher.”
Stating his commitment to the quest, Olawole said he will always look back to give back and develop the community that voted for him.
I didn’t just find myself being a lecturer, I started from the grass root. In fact, I didn’t join LASU as a lecturer, I joined 12 years ago as a clerical officer and today I am lecturer and I am still rolling around with my people who we started together as clerk. Even if I become the President of this country, I will still give respect to these people. If they have given me the mandate to represent them at the chamber, what is stopping me from giving back to them.
“I am not one of those people that will not look back. I am prepared and the passion is there, confidence is there, we are ready and we can.”
He however advised other young candidates who will emerged at the election next year to always remember those that voted for them.
“I am 36 years old and I will tell you I am starting so late. I can say it that one of the things we have been able to achieve today in the history of our constituency Ojo Federal Constituency, there has never been anybody as young as I am vying for the position of House of Representative. We have achieve that, now we have gotten to the political space. Now they are been able to count that we have four candidates and they are counting us. So, if we can do it, more people can do that.
“So, let me advise those that are running like me that when we emerge we shouldn’t forget the fact that we are coming from somewhere. Those people who clamor for our involvement in politics should not be forgotten and I can assure you that the kind of Nigeria youth we have today are youth distinguished especially in humanitarian.
Showing his support at the ceremony, Olawole’s father, Hon Sunday Olawole JP wished him well saying he is closer to the community and knows what they are suffering from even in Awori and the riverine areas therefore he wish him to win.
He however advised other young candidates vying for positions in the next election to always look for ways to develop their communities especially the areas they representing.
“They are not too young to rule and if possible they are there, they have to use their intelligence to make sure the country is in order.
“We need them to be on board because the old men have been working and we should allow the younger ones to move forward and make sure the country is in order.”
Olawole Olaniyi Joseph obtained his first degree from Lagos State University, Ojo; second degree Olabisi Onabanjo University and now studying for his PhD in Lagos State University in Economics of Education.
