Following the relocation of some computer-based test (CBT) centres, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would be rescheduled for the affected candidates.

Speaking to journalists yesterday in Abuja following the protest by some candidates over the conduct of the UTME, the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, yesterday said the board relocated 59, 000 candidates in 15 states because of problems in some of the centres.

He, however, pointed out that the new development does not affect candidates who missed the examination deliberately or failed in the examination.

According to him, among the 1,546,633 candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145, 704 had issues of multiple results which have been resolved by the board.

“We relocated candidates where the board had challenges. The board is looking at some of the issues raised during the examination but most of the excuses raised by candidates are flimsy,” he said.

“We relocated about 59, 000 candidates due to the problems in various centres which vary from town to town. There are about 59,000 spread across 15 states of the federation.

“Those that were relocated never suffered any setback or inconveniences. For all these two set of people I want to apologise sincerely for what happened to them but we are going to put on a redress for those whose relocation affected them in missing their examination.”
