Kuni Tyessi in Abuja The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that no fewer than 18,000 candidates would sit for its mop-up examinations across the country on Friday, August 6. The JAMB said that would be conducting the examination to make up for minor hitches, which were recorded during the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). It said that affected candidates have been notified through text messages on their designated phone numbers and their JAMB profiles. The board also said that candidates could check using their registration number on http://www.jamb.gov.ng/2021mopup. A statement that was released yesterday by the Spokesperson of the JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said that for the avoidance of doubt, no candidate whose result has been duly released would be rescheduled for another examination contrary to the sponsored fake news being circulated on social and few mischievous conventional media.
