JAMB's Segun Aina Enhances Transparency for UTME Candidates

Professor Segun Aina, the Registrar and Chief Executive of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), stated that the board is optimizing its policies to build public trust, enhance transparency, and reduce the difficulties faced by Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates. This announcement was made during an interaction with candidates on Wednesday as part of the 2026 Customer Week activities at JAMB’s Abuja Zonal Office.

Aina emphasized that the adjustments aim to improve candidates' experiences without introducing fundamental changes to the existing operational framework. He noted that one significant improvement is the provision of detailed information regarding candidates' admission statuses, which previously included vague notifications.

The new system allows candidates to see specific details about their admission progress, thereby reducing anxiety. Additionally, JAMB has leveraged technology to facilitate updates to candidates' personal information and strengthened collaboration with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) regarding changes to names and other details.
