The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended the sale of Direct Entry application documents to May 8, 2026. This move aims to ensure that no prospective Direct Entry candidate is denied access to tertiary education in the country.

In line with its goal of expanding access to tertiary education, JAMB has also approved five additional registration centers for the Direct Entry exercise. These centers are located in areas with high demand and will help to ease the registration process for applicants.

The approved centers include the Centre for Open and Distance Learning (CODL), Mini Campus, University of Ilorin, Kwara State; Bells University of Technology, Km 8, Idiroko Road, Ota, Ogun State; Olabisi Onabanjo University, Centre 1, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State; Prof. Usman E-Learning Centre, Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, Oyo State; and Human Development Initiatives (Grace House), No. 2, Iwaya, Sabo, Opposite Onike Girls Junior High School, Onike, Lagos State. The Lagos center will commence operations from April 30, 2026.

Prospective candidates are reminded that JAMB's offices nationwide, including Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) and Professional Testing Centres (PTCs), remain open for the ongoing 2026 Direct Entry registration.
