The registration for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will now commence on Monday, February 3, 2025, instead of Friday, January 31, 2025.
Public Communication Advisor of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in a statement noted that the change is necessary to allow the Board to implement essential adjustments to its registration templates.
“These adjustments come in light of the recent suspension of certain law programmes at selected universities, as submitted to the Board by the Council for Legal Education.
“Additionally, the Board discovered that some
Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres had used deceptive facilities to be approved, prompting the need for further scrutiny and corrections by disapproving such centres,” he said
He said the Board acknowledges the disruption this may cause to candidates and other stakeholders and sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience.
He added that the additional time will be used to ensure that all necessary changes are made for a smooth registration process.
Meanwhile, JAMB has announced the suspension of admissions into the Law Faculty of Fountain University Osogbo for the 2025/26 academic session.
“This follows an additional submission from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), making Fountain University the ninth institution where JAMB will not be conducting admissions into the Law programme for the 2025/26 academic session,” he said
JAMB had earlier disclosed that it would not process admissions for the Law programme in eight Nigerian universities owing to the suspension of their Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme by the Council of Legal Education (CLE). The universities earlier affected are:
1. Kwara State University, Malete, Ilorin, Kwara State
2. Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State
3. Redeemers University, Ede, Osun State
4. Western Delta University, Oghara, Delta State
5. Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State

Dr. Fabian reiterated that the suspension of the Law programme at the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, will last for two academic sessions, specifically the 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 sessions, based on the decision of the Council of Legal Education (CLE).
