The results of the 80,000 candidates who took the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023, have been released.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, following an emergency board meeting held in Abuja on May 1, 2023, reportedly organised a mop-up UTME for candidates who missed the opportunity to sit the examinations between the period scheduled by the board due to “no faults of their own.”

The examination body in the minutes of the meeting cited three categories of candidates namely the candidates, “who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination; those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data,” the board stated.

The board stated through its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in the JAMB bulletin that was published on Monday, May 8, 2023, that the results of the mop-up UTME have all been released.

“Results of mop-up UTME held on Saturday, May 6, 2023, released”, the board said.
