The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has apologised for the delay in releasing results of candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Friday, April 17, 2026.
In a statement posted on his official X account, the board’s Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, attributed the delay to the unavailability of the Chief Executive, who was engaged in an official assignment.
“We sincerely apologise for the delay in releasing the results for Friday, April 17. Our Chief Executive was unavailable due to an important engagement but will be in the office today (Sunday),” he said.
The board assured candidates that the results would be released later in the day, adding that the process would be concluded before nightfall.
“We assure all concerned that the results will be released later today, surely before nightfall,” the statement added.
JAMB also expressed regret to candidates and stakeholders who stayed up awaiting the release, thanking them for their patience and understanding.
The board noted that the development comes as it continues the phased release of UTME results nationwide.
