Please,can the date for registration be extended? Have always had passion for Japanese culture and I intended writing my masters programme in Japan through the MEXT Scholarship Programme.I heard a little late and I started getting the required documents together on the 28th of May, getting the recommendation letter from the school authority takes about three days and unfortuneately, 29th of May was a public holiday here in Nigeria. I’d be grateful if the date can be extended. Thank you
