JAMB Refutes Claims of 2026 UTME Postponement

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has described circulating reports of a 2026 UTME postponement as fake and malicious. In an official statement issued on Saturday, the board urged all candidates and the general public to ignore the false notice. JAMB reiterated that the 2026 UTME will proceed as scheduled from Thursday, April 16 to Saturday, April 25, 2026. This clarification follows the recent mock examination held on March 28, which experienced technical issues at some computer-based test centres.

Not every official statement is necessarily fully transparent; sometimes institutions react quickly to control narratives.
