The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has decried the seemingly low levels of notification slip printing by candidates who are scheduled to take the upcoming make-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The board made this known through a statement made available by Fabian Benjamin, its spokesperson, noting that only a small fraction of the scheduled candidates had completed the slip-printing process.
“As of this morning (Friday), only 12,442 out of the 98,232 scheduled candidates have printed their slips, reflecting a mere 12.6% participation rate,” the statement read.
The board however called on the affected candidates to take the necessary step in a bid not to miss the rare opportunity.
“We strongly encourage all candidates, particularly those who missed the main examination, to print their notification slips promptly.
“This is a rare opportunity for them to participate in this year’s examination,” the Board said.
“We urge all candidates who missed their previous examinations to reprint their slips to ensure they do not miss this opportunity.”
The board assured the candidates and the general public of its preparedness to ensure the success of the process.
“The Board is actively monitoring the printing process to determine the number of candidates who will be present for the examination.
“Meanwhile, we have deployed both human and material resources to facilitate this exercise, ensuring that all registered candidates have the opportunity to sit the examination,” the statement concluded.
