The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it will conduct a supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 67 candidates on Saturday, September 24, 2022.

According to JAMB, the examination is “for 67 candidates who had registered for the 2022 UTME, but who could neither sit the examination nor take the just-concluded Mop-Up UTME owing to one challenge or another, to take their examination at specially-designated centres.”

JAMB’s Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said this in a statement on Monday morning.

He noted that after the 2022 UTME, the board evaluated the entire procedure and offered mop-up exams to applicants who had biometric issues.

He said: “This decision to give these set of candidates this unusual opportunity is to ensure that no single innocent candidate is punished unjustly.

“These 67 candidates are, therefore, urged to print their supplementary examination notification slips from Monday, 19th September, 2022, to know the centres where they would be sitting the examination.”
