The latest Advisory aside from aiding in eliciting relevant and up-to-date data of candidates is also imperative for facilitating the transmission of urgent and vital communication to candidates cheaply and efficiently.“Furthermore, the email provides more flexibility in communication and is a more professional way of reaching out to candidates.“Candidates are, therefore, advised to get their genuine email addresses before proceeding for UTME registration.
