JAMB Service Delivery Improvements 2026-2027
JAMB is improving service delivery through nationwide CBT operator meetings and strategic government partnerships. Learn how these changes will enhance your UTME experience and reduce exam-day stress.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced major JAMB service delivery improvements aimed at making your examination experience smoother and more reliable. During Global Customer Service Week 2026, JAMB Registrar Professor Segun Aina revealed that the board has been actively engaging with CBT operators, government agencies, and key stakeholders to strengthen accountability and enhance how candidates are treated—from registration all the way to exam day.
What JAMB Service Delivery Improvements Include
JAMB’s commitment to better service delivery involves several strategic initiatives. Firstly, the board held nationwide engagements with Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre operators, zonal directors, and state coordinators. These meetings focused on addressing concerns and identifying practical ways to improve your experience from the moment you register until you sit for the exam.
Furthermore, JAMB has strengthened partnerships with government agencies to ensure fairness and accountability. The board met with the Accountant-General of the Federation on financial management and fiscal transparency, and engaged the Federal Character Commission to reaffirm its commitment to equal opportunity and access for all Nigerian students.
New Partnership with the National Orientation Agency
In addition to these efforts, JAMB disclosed plans for a strategic partnership with the National Orientation Agency (NOA). This collaboration aims to combine the NOA’s grassroots reach with JAMB’s direct access to millions of young Nigerians. The partnership could significantly improve how information about JAMB registration, exam procedures, and admission timelines reaches students across Nigeria.
Why These Improvements Matter to You

Looking Ahead: JAMB’s 2027 Plans
Beyond service delivery improvements, JAMB continues to innovate.
