Prospective Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates have commended the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for introducing Remita for the purchase of the examination registration pin .
Students across the country had complained of the challenges they faced while trying to purchase the registration pin.
However , the Head of Public Relations JAMB , Dr Fabian Benjamin, had in a statement on Sunday announced that “ aside the banks and NIPOST , candidates can now purchase the pins through Remita .”
He said that the inclusion of Remita would reduce the hassles faced by students while seeking to buy the registration pins, adding that with Remita , students would be able to complete payment from their mobile phones.
He said, “Candidates can now purchase the pin for registration from the comfort of their homes. ”
A 2017 UTME candidate in Akure, Ayanfe Adelolu, who recently paid with Remita , described the process as hitch -free.
He said, “All I did was to visit the JAMB website , log in with my registered profile, click the ‘UTME Examination ’ under the Sales of Form feature , and then select Remita .
“ From there , I went on to choose the how I wanted to pay .”
Another candidate said she paid with her mobile phone using Remita ’s app .
She said , “ When I got to the page where I was asked about how I want to pay , I saw that I could pay with an app which I had heard of before. So, I downloaded it and used the Pay RRR features to pay .”
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board had earlier blamed cybercafés for making “ information gathering, processing and administration of examination cumbersome as records and data of candidates are distorted.”
Already, JAMB has registered 600 ,000 candidates for the 2017 UTME across the country.
