The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says no candidate will be registered without providing an email address from January 31, 2023.
This was contained in a statement issued by the JAMB Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Monday.
Benjamin stated that the review of the advisory on the ongoing UTME registration by JAMB was to ensure that best practices were followed in the process of capturing all relevant data pertaining to the candidates.
He said the latest advisory, aside from aiding in eliciting relevant and up-to-date data of candidates, was also imperative in facilitating the transmission of urgent and vital communication to candidates cheaply and efficiently.

“Furthermore, the email provides more flexibility in communication and is a more professional way of reaching out to candidates.
“Candidates are, therefore, advised to get their genuine e-mail addresses before proceeding to UTME registration.
“In addition, candidates are to ensure that their passwords are kept securely, as the board does not retrieve lost e-mail passwords or change e-mail addresses once registered,” the JAMB spokesperson noted.
The 2023 UTME registration commenced on Saturday, January 14, 2023, and will end Tuesday, February 14, 2023.
