The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has apologised for failing to release the latest batch of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results as scheduled, assuring candidates the results will be made public later on Sunday.
The board had earlier indicated that results for candidates who sat the exam on Friday, April 17, 2026, would be released on Saturday. However, the delay triggered frustration among candidates awaiting their scores.
In a statement issued on Sunday, JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, explained that the setback was due to the temporary absence of the board’s chief executive, who was engaged in official duties.
The statement read; Good morning everyone,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.Fabian Benjamin, Ph.D., OrgExpert PCA, JAMB
Candidates are expected to check their results via SMS by sending “UTMERESULT” to 55019 or 66019 using the phone number linked to their registration.
