The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has lifted the ban placed on some processes on its platforms to accommodate more requests from candidates who participated in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), prior to 2020.
According to Dr Fabian Benjamin JAMB Public Relations Officer of the exam board, the lift on the suspension, covered students who wrote the exam in previous years is to ensure that those who require corrections are able to do it.

Daily Times reports that the move was necessitated by the need to prevent overcrowding at its Computer-Based Test Centres and other partner facilities, in line with extant COVID -19 protocols issued by relevant agencies.
He said, ‘‘however, it is to be noted that most of these operations are only available at JAMB offices nationwide.
‘’Furthermore, as the Board is desirous of sustaining compliance with COVID-19 protocols, it maintains that 2020 UTME candidates desirous of these services will only be attended to through the Appointment Booking Platform’’.
