Monday, 21st June 2021: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB), on Monday advised candidates affected by the deletion of some computer-based test centres from the list of approved centres taking part in the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, (UTME), to print new slips containing the details of their rescheduled examinations.

A statement issued by JAMB and signed by the head of its public affairs and protocol unit, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the new slips have been made available on the examination body’s website since Sunday, June 20.

“Candidates, who were scheduled to take examination in delisted cantres can proceed to print their examination notification slips from Sunday, 20th, 2021 for their new schedule date and time,” the statement reads in part, adding that; “This applies only to centres delisted.”

CEOAFRICA had, on Sunday, reported the announcement of the deletion of 25 centres by JAMB due to what it described as their performance below the examination body’s “tolerable limit.”

JAMB, however, later said it regretted the inclusion of the centre at the Plateau State University, Bokkos, and said the affected centres were 24 and not 25 as earlier claimed.

A statement announcing the body’s regret on the inclusion of the university’s centre was shared with CEOAFRICA by Benjamin.

He wrote; “Correction with apology. The centres are actually 24 not 25. The inclusion of Plateau State University, Bokkos, is regrettable.”

The affected 24 centres are scattered across 11 states of the federation and the federal capital territory, FCT, Abuja.
