JAMB suspends exam town selection for 2026 UTME candidates in Ekiti

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has temporarily suspended the selection of examination towns for 2026 UTME candidates registering in Ekiti State. JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, said the pause is to allow the board restructure exam town locations to bring centres closer to candidates and reduce transport challenges on exam days. He explained that the 2026 registration commenced before structural anomalies were detected in the configuration of examination towns in Ekiti. According to him, the irregularities made urgent adjustments necessary in the interest of candidates, prompting the temporary halt of town selection in the state.

Benjamin assured that the process would be concluded soon and apologised for any inconvenience caused to candidates during the ongoing registration exercise. He noted […]

JAMB denies banning undergraduates from 2026 UTME

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has denied reports that undergraduates have been barred from registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry. JAMB spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in a statement in Abuja that the rumour was a false interpretation of its guidelines by self-styled education advocates seeking online attention. He explained that the 2026 UTME and DE advertisement only directs candidates to state their current admission status during registration. Benjamin stressed that it is not an offence for a student already admitted into any institution to register for UTME or Direct Entry again. However, he said candidates must truthfully disclose that they are already matriculated, in line with JAMB’s duty to prevent multiple admissions. He noted that once a candidate secures a fresh admission after proper disclosure, the previous admission automatically becomes invalid. Under Nigeria’s […]
