“The affected candidates will start getting text messages for reschedule starting from tomorrow.”
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced rescheduling exams for 379,997 candidates following widespread errors during last week’s UTME. Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede confirmed 206,610 candidates in 65 Lagos centers and 173,387 across 92 Southeast centers were affected, apologizing and taking full responsibility.
Affected candidates are receiving SMS notifications for new exam dates, with one rescheduled for May 17 in Lagos’ Igando center. Oloyede stated: “I apologise, I take full responsibility,” as JAMB works to rectify the logistical failures.
