The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rescheduled another Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination for 379,997 candidates in the five states of the South East and Lagos.
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known in an ongoing press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
Oloyede, who took responsibility for the errors, said the affected candidates will start getting text messages from the Board starting Thursday.
“The affected candidates will start getting text messages for rescheduling starting from tomorrow. I apologise; I take full responsibility.”
JAMB’s decision to reschedule the exam comes as thousands of candidates reportedly filed a class-action lawsuit against the Board over alleged irregularities.
Candidates claimed they experienced technical issues and inconsistent question displays during the exam.
The controversy escalated after JAMB released statistics showing over 1.5 million out of 1.9 million candidates scored below 200 out of 400 marks, sparking widespread concern and outrage on social media.
