Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the spokesperson for JAMB, confirmed the development to journalists on Monday. He explained that the board is finalizing the results after addressing the issues that led to the rescheduled exam.
The initial examination had been marred by technical issues and human errors, particularly in Lagos and the South-East, which affected candidates’ performance.
This rescheduled exam came after the first UTME saw over 1.5 million candidates score below 200 marks out of a possible 400. The results raised concerns about the fairness and credibility of the exam.
JAMB acknowledged the system lapses, attributing the disruptions to sabotage. Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the board’s Registrar, took full responsibility for the issues and announced the makeup exam for the affected candidates.
