In a statement signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Head of Media and Public Affairs, the Board said the decision followed “emergent and compelling circumstances” that made it necessary to grant additional time to universities.
According to JAMB, the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU) appealed for the extension due to disruptions caused by a court order that temporarily halted the 2025/2026 admission process. The order, which directed that the status quo be maintained, was only lifted on October 28, 2025.

Additionally, the Board explained that the recent accreditation of 229 new programmes across 37 universities by the National Universities Commission (NUC) required extra time for institutions to process fresh admissions into the approved courses.

While commending universities for their commitment to meeting the initial deadline, JAMB emphasized that this new date would be the final extension.
“This new deadline is final and must be strictly adhered to,” the statement read.
JAMB reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent, credible, and inclusive admission process in line with national education goals and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
