JAMB’S Registrar,Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, announced the extension at a press conference, Saturday, in Abuja.
The decision, according to Oloyede,was the outcome of a two-day stakeholders’ meeting the board had in Abuja.
He said stakeholders recommended that a two-week extension be granted to candidates who have not been able to register as a result of some challenges associated with the National Identification Number,NIN,and others.
He said a total of 1,134,424 candidates have so far registered as at the time the press conference was held.
