He also said that the candidates have been receiving information and any
of which isn’t true. He said that when the portal is opened for
correction of data and change of course it would make the announcement.
He assure all candidates interested in of carrying out the correction of
data or change of institution that the board would ensure that enough
time was given for them to do so. Benjamin also explained that the board
had not finished with the conduct of the 2017 UTME. “The board is still
conducting examinations for those who registered late and those who
could not be verified during the examination. “As such, it will be
unfair to them to open the portal for such correction and changes at the
same time.’’ He also said that JAMB would decentralize the service when
it eventually opened its portal for it. “We are collaborating with the
University of Lagos, Yaba College of Technology and other stakeholders
on this in Lagos. We will do same in other states. “This will ease the
pressure on our various offices and ensure a hitch-free process.’’ More
than 1.7 million candidates registered for the examination that was
conducted from May 13 to May 20 nationwide. Results of majority of the
candidates have been released while some others have yet to be released
as the
board is still scrutinising them.
