The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cancelled the registrations of 817 candidates for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who made this known after separate meetings with stakeholders, revealed that the registrations were cancelled over identified impersonation bordering on use of strange biometric fingerprints in the registration process.
While saying some registration officers in the affected 178 Computer Based Test (CBT) centres added one of their fingerprints to complete the registration process for the candidates, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede stated that the 817 students would be given another opportunity to re-register for the exam with the centres bearing the cost.
