This warning comes after concerns that henna can obstruct biometric verification, leading to potential challenges in confirming candidates' identities.
To ensure a smooth and accurate registration, JAMB strongly advises candidates to avoid henna applications until the registration process is complete.
Critical Notice: Henna and Biometric Registration
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued an important advisory to prospective candidates concerning the use of henna, also known as "Laali" or "Lale," during the registration process.
Recent observations have shown that henna application on the fingers can interfere with biometric verification, which is essential for confirming a candidate's identity. This obstruction can lead to delays or inaccuracies in the registration process.
To ensure smooth and successful biometric capture, candidates are strongly advised to avoid applying henna on their hands until the registration process is fully completed. Following this guideline will help prevent any registration challenges and ensure a hassle-free experience.
Candidates are encouraged to carefully consider this notice to avoid any inconveniences that could arise from biometric issues during the registration period.
