The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has apologised for delay in releasing results of candidates who wrote the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Friday 17 April 2026.

The examination body had earlier promised that the results of candidates who wrote the exam on Friday which is the second batch would be released on Saturday.

JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin, Sunday morning, gave the reason for the exams body’s inability to release the results as scheduled and offered apology in a terse statement sent to the public.

The message read: “We sincerely apologize for the delay in releasing the results for Friday, 17th April, which is the second batch in the series as earlier promised.

“Our Chief Executive was unavailable due to an important engagement but would be in the office today, and we assure you that the results will be released later today surely before nightfall.

“We also extend our heartfelt apologies to those who stayed up waiting for the release.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
