Prospective students interested in enrolling at the Nigerian Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and other open distance learning centers are now required to register through the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB). This directive mandates candidates to provide their National Identification Number (NIN) during registration to prevent fraudulent activities and ensure the integrity of their records. JAMB emphasized this measure in Abuja to streamline the registration process and uphold compliance with its regulations, applicable to all tertiary education applicants in Nigeria, including those in non-regular study programs like NOUN, Distance Learning, Part-time, and Sandwich programs.
