OFFICIAL: JAMB grants opportunity for candidates who missed UTME to retake exam

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, has finally agreed to reschedule examination for candidates who missed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, due to the relocation of centres by the board.

Following the board’s relocation of 59,000
candidates in 15 states because of problems in
some of the centres which cost them the exam,
the affected candidates had carried out series of
protests in some states of the country against the
examination body.

But speaking at a press conference in Abuja
yesterday, the Registrar of the board, Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde assured that candidates who had system
failure during the examination would retake it, if the board finds their complaint to be genuine.
