Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says it is considering postponing the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
Registrar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede made this known after a meeting with stakeholders on Friday.
He apologized to candidates for the difficulties they encountered during the registration, stating that most of the challenges were beyond their control.
“The possibility of shifting the exam forward is still high; but that will be determined after our meeting with stakeholders. This is because about 600,000 candidates who have indicated interest in the exam are yet to register. There is need to give everyone the opportunity,” he said.
“We are here to commend you and also to apologise to you for putting you through some hardships, especially in your efforts to register. Most of these things are outside our purview. They have to do with government policies and we have little or no control over them,” he added.
