The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved a one-week extension for candidates who wish to change their institution of choice to the Federal University of Agriculture and Technology, Oyo (FUNATO).

The extension followed a formal request made by the Vice-Chancellor of FUNATO, Professor Jacob Babayemi, who appealed for additional time to enable interested candidates complete their change of institution process without unnecessary pressure.

Why JAMB Granted the Extension

According to information released, the Vice-Chancellor reached out to JAMB to request more time for candidates who showed interest in FUNATO but were unable to meet the earlier deadline.

In response, JAMB temporarily reopened access to its portal for one extra week, allowing affected candidates to make the necessary updates. This move is intended to give prospective students a fair opportunity to select FUNATO as their preferred institution.

What Interested Candidates Should Do

Candidates who intend to switch their institution to FUNATO are expected to:

• Log in to the official JAMB portal
  
• Complete the change of institution process within the approved one-week period
  
• Ensure all required details are correctly updated before submission
  

The extension is strictly time-bound, and candidates are advised not to delay action.

Important Advice to Parents and Candidates

Parents, guardians, and candidates are encouraged to take this opportunity seriously. Since the extension is limited to just one week, failure to act within the timeframe may result in missing out entirely.

Candidates who are genuinely interested in FUNATO should complete the process early to avoid last-minute issues such as network delays or portal congestion.

Final Note

The one-week extension granted by JAMB provides a short but valuable window for candidates seeking admission into FUNATO. Prospective students are strongly advised to make full use of this opportunity and complete all necessary steps promptly.

Staying informed and acting on time can make all the difference in securing admission.
