The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyode, has given assurance that candidates who experienced glitches during the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which commenced on Friday would be rescheduled.

Oloyode gave the assurance after monitoring the exam in Kogo-Bwari, Abuja.

“We appeal to the public to understand this. Some centres will fail. I have heard of only one centre that has failed today.

“By the end of today, I expect about 10 per cent of the centres to have one problem or the other because we know the level of development in different parts of the country.

“We are not encouraging this, but when it happens, please do not disrupt others. It is important to note that when a session fails because of a problem, you cannot bring those candidates to do session two, they will have to step aside, and the headquarters will have to be contacted.

“The earliest time they can be scheduled will be after 4:30 p.m. so that those slated for sections two and three can write, and these candidates can now write for session four, and in some cases, they can even be scheduled for the following day,” he said.
