University admission seekers through Direct Entry, IJMB and JUPEB have appealed to the minister of Education and the registrar of JAMB to extend 2019 direct entry registration, saying that the closure of the portal in February was unusual and unproductive. “Their closure of the Direct Entry registration in February 2019 was unusual. From the previous practice, the direct entry portal normally closes by July every year. The notification was only available to the UTME candidates and people who visited the JAMB portal during the time. So, no one would expect the same JAMB registrar to change the usual closure period to February.
