The examination body said the delay was due to the recent conclusion of its foreign examinations and ongoing preparations for the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to participate in the main exercise through no fault of theirs.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the printing of the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) original result slips has not yet been activated, urging candidates across the country to remain patient.
The examination body said the delay was due to the recent conclusion of its foreign examinations and ongoing preparations for the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to participate in the main exercise through no fault of theirs.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the board explained that several processes still needed to be completed before candidates could access the original result slips.
“The printing of the 2026 UTME Original Result Slip has not yet been activated. Candidates are kindly urged to be patient as the Board has just concluded the foreign examinations and is also preparing to conduct the mop-up examination for candidates who were unable to sit for the main examination through no fault of theirs,” the statement read.
