The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has apologised for delaying the release of the latest batch of 2026 UTME results, assuring candidates they will be published later on Sunday.
The board had earlier scheduled the release for Saturday, prompting frustration among candidates when it did not materialise.
JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, attributed the delay to the temporary absence of the board’s chief executive but confirmed the issue has been resolved.
“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.

JAMB also noted that the ongoing examination has recorded minimal disruptions nationwide.
