By now, it is expected that all the 2019 UTME candidates must have printed their JAMB exam slip and now know their specific exam date, time and venue. However, If you are yet to print yours or haven't known your exam centre, date and time, check it on this thread: JAMB 2019 UTME Slip Printing Begins 

For those who have printed theirs, here is a platform for you to connect with other candidates who will be taking the exam at the same centre as you.

You are required to simply post the following in the comment section;

1. State

2. Exam Centre

3. Exam Date

4. Exam Time

5. Subjects you intend to take

Remember we advised in an earlier thread that candidates should visit the location of their test centres prior to the test day if possible as this will help prevent panicking and stress on the exam day. If you are not sure of how to locate your exam centre, this thread is equally an opportunity to get the direction from other candidates who may know.

This is contained in the board’s weekly bulletin tagged ‘JAMBULLETIN’, by the Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, and issued in Lagos on Sunday.
According to the bulletin, printing of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) notification slip is on-going, as the board has since made it ready for all candidates who registered for the examination.

“The notification is to allow candidates know their examination schedules, which includes time, date and venue of the examination.

“Candidates are therefore advised to take the printing order seriously in order for them to have an idea of the location of their centres, well ahead of the examination.

“It is also to enable them prepare for all necessary logistics of being at their respective centres on time,” the bulletin stated.

It added that the e-slips of the candidates had been placed on their JAMB profiles created at the point of registration.

“For those who are unable to access their slips through their portal at www.jamb.org.ng, the board has provided a step by step process of making the printing easy.

“First, they should go to the official JAMB portal, www.jamb.org.ng/efacility /printexaminationslip.

“Next, candidates would be required to enter their registration number, telephone number used in vending the pin at the point of registration or email in the appropriate column and follow the next command,” it said.

“Candidates are advised to print two copies of the examination slip in full, as one copy will be submitted at the centre while the second copy will be kept by the candidates for reference purpose,” it said.

The bulletin added that it was important to note that there would be no rescheduling of the examination, no matter the reason.

It added that all candidates must ensure that they are verified using the Biometric Verification Machine.

Meanwhile, the board has also warned candidates and parents or guardians to desist from paying UTME application fees to schools or tutorial centres. NAN reports.
It said that the warning became necessary owing to the growing practice of of some elite schools/colleges and tutorial centres that collect money in bulk from candidates to register them en masse.

According to the bulletin, through diligent investigation, the board discovered that schools involved in the practice usually levy candidates exhorbitant sums running into millions of Naira for the purpose of the UTME registration.

“In this regard, it should be reiterated that the board does not do group registration, as candidates are required to do individual registration.

“The board has noted with displeasure a series of some of the unfortunate situation some of these schools, especially the elite ones, have put some candidates through.

“In their bid to make money, they engage in series of infractions in the name of group registration and other acts inimical to the interest of the candidates and the sanctity of the examination.

“This kind of fraudulent registration end up distorting candidate’s data,” it said.

It warned the public to be mindful of such unscrupulous schools or centres who more often than not, register candidates at unauthorised centres.

According to the bulletin, the board’s examination is not a school-based examination and therefore does not require candidates registering in groups.

After gaining admission into UNILAG, a young man went on to write down his goal of becoming the best graduating student of UNILAG, and four years later, he accomplished his goal and emerged the best graduating student.

This young man, identified as Adeyeye Oluwaseyi, said he decided to work towards the achievement in UNILAG because he never got any accolades when he was in primary and secondary school.

Taking to his Instagram to celebrate his achievement, he wrote:

"Becoming the best graduating story was not without enormous challenges, but the journey started with a very strong determination and belief to achieve this feat. This goal was written years back, and to the glory of God became a reality yesterday (3/04/2019). Knowing fully well that i never got any accolades during my primary and secondary education, i was inspired to put in great efforts and trust God in the process."

"Today, I am happy I have achieved one of my written goals. I look forward to being celebrated again shortly."

"I am grateful to God Almighty and I appreciate My parents ( Mr & Mrs Adeyeye), Family members, Lecturers, friends, Course mates and other notable people like Vice President Osinbajo, whose visitation to my Family house left a great Impact. Also, my uncle has been awesome. I appreciate you Major General Olabanji."

"Finally, Thank you University of Lagos."

Mrs. Bridget Okonji, a 77-year-old retired worker and grandmother, on Tuesday, bagged her first-degree certificate at the 50th convocation ceremony of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka. She revealed that she enrolled for the programme after her retirement to avoid boredom.
Graduating from the Department of Educational Foundations (Guidance Counselling), she expressed that her achievment was a dream come true. She said, “I studied guidance and counselling and I am most grateful to God Almighty who made me see this day."

“I am a retired officer. I have worked in a lot of countries around the world and also in Nigeria, where I finally retired,’’

“You know when you retire like that, you will not want to stay at home and be dying slowly,"

“Education has no limit. It is from cradle to death in order for one to add value to the society,’’ she said.
