In a statement signed by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin in Abuja on Sunday, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for the commencement of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).
Benjamin said the UTME which was earlier scheduled to commence on April 29, would now start on April 25, 2023.
According to him, the board would hold its rescheduled mock-UTME on April 18, 2023.
It would be recalled that JAMB had earlier conducted its 2023 Mock-UTME on Thursday, March 30 in 725 centres across the country.
However, the exercise ran into some technical hitches in some centres, thereby denying some candidates the opportunity to sit for the examination.
“It is, in order to give those candidates, who were unable to sit for the examination owing to no fault of theirs the opportunity to take the mock examination that it had been rescheduled to hold on Tuesday, April 18,,” he said.
He also gave the assurance that the board would continue to partner with relevant agencies of government to ensure that its candidates got the best.
