The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed reports that the ongoing 2025 direct entry (DE) registration will close on Monday, 7 April.
In a statement released on Saturday, Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s public communication advisor, clarified that the registration, which began on 12 March, will continue until an official closing date is announced.
“This liberalisation of the registration period allows the Board to complete ongoing investigations into candidates who have been arrested or are under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration,” he said
He advised candidates with questionable credentials to withdraw voluntarily.

Benjamin warned that the board has put in place systems to detect and penalise fraudulent registrations, including past cases.
He said candidates are encouraged to complete their registration at any of JAMB’s approved professional registration centres (PRCs) nationwide.
“We urge those who may have used fake results in previous admissions to come forward and withdraw, as investigations are being extended to already admitted students,” he added.
