Bwari (Abuja) – The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday said that it had set May 26 for
rescheduled Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) for more than
12, 000 candidates across the country. The Board’s Head of Media, Dr Fabian
Benjamin, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
in Abuja.
According to Benjamin, more than 12, 000 candidates
are expected to sit for the mop up examinations in few of its centres across
the country. This category of candidates, he explained, are those whose
biometrics were not captured during the initial period of the UTME in March. He
said: ““It would also include those, who are yet to see their results since the
end of the examinations in March till date and have not been involved in any
form of malpractice. “It will also include those, who were unable to print out
their e-slip before the earlier examinations and those whose centres were
cancelled for suspected malpractices.’’

According to him, “there are centres that were
cancelled because of suspicious activities but the board was unable to identify
the actual culprits. However, he said that those, who were involved and caught
in illicit acts and centres where a case of malpractice has been established
against them would not partake in the rescheduled examinations.
He advised candidates, who might have fallen into
any of the categories qualified for the examination to print their e-slips from
Monday, May 21. NAN recalls the board had earlier promised to reschedule the
examinations for some candidates whose cases were exceptional, adding that
candidates, who fall under such categories would be contacted before then.
