JAMB Apologises for Delay in Releasing Day Two 2026 UTME Results: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially apologised to candidates over the delayed release of the Day Two 2026 UTME results, which many students had expected earlier.
According to a statement released by the board’s spokesperson, JAMB explained that the delay was caused by the temporary unavailability of its Chief Executive, who was attending an important official engagement.
The board, however, assured candidates that the results for Friday, 17th April 2026, which represent the second batch of released results, will be made available later today before nightfall.
Why JAMB Delayed the Result Release
Many candidates who sat for the examination on the second day stayed awake through the night hoping their scores would be released as earlier promised. This created anxiety among students and parents waiting to confirm performance.
JAMB acknowledged the inconvenience caused and extended sincere apologies to all affected candidates.
