JAMB

No fewer than 2.2 million candidates are expected to sit the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, which commenced nationwide today. The examination, organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, will run from April 16 to April 22 across accredited centres in the country.

According to JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, examination officials should demonstrate professionalism and commitment, noting that the success of the exercise depends largely on their performance.

Commending staff and service providers for their roles in the conduct of the mock examination, he stressed that most challenges recorded were due to inadequate assessment of centres.

WOW.
