The Federal Government has commended the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for the smooth and successful conduct of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, gave the commendation on Saturday while monitoring alongside the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the rescheduled UTME at the Computer Based Test (CBT) centre located in Mambila Barrack’s, Asokoro, Abuja. Meanwhile, JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in an interview on Saturday, said about 80,000 candidates, who could not sit for the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, sat for the rescheduled UTME across the country. “In this year’s UTME, the issue of examination malpractices was reduced to almost zero level,” Fabian said. A total of 1,586,765 candidates indicated an interest in sitting for the 2023 UTME.
