Prospective applicants for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), have besieged the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), headquarters Enrolment Centre, Abuja, to enable them to obtain the National Identification Number (NIN).
NIN is a requirement by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), for those intending to sit for the UTME.
Other requirements are; Birth Certificate, Primary School Leaving Certificate, and guardians or parents’ NIN for those below the age of 16 years.
The applicants, who trooped into the centre in their hundreds, were accompanied by their teachers and were being assisted by personnel of NIMC to meet up with the Feb. 17 deadline set by JAMB for the close of registration.
A Correspondent who visited the NIMC Headquarters on Thursday observed that enrolment of the applicants was done without any delays.
