1. JAMB Registrar Clarifies Board's Role in University Admissions
Speaking at the maiden Rite Foods National Academic Excellence Awards in Lagos, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, addressed a widespread public misconception. He emphasized that JAMB is fundamentally an educational assessment and admission agency, rather than a traditional examination body like WAEC or NECO.
Prof. Oloyede cautioned candidates and parents against an unhealthy obsession with exceptionally high UTME scores. He warned that a high score alone does not guarantee admission if a candidate fails to meet specific institutional criteria or possesses incorrect O'Level subject combinations.
2. N35 Million Scholarship Awarded to Top 2026 UTME Candidates
In a massive boost for educational excellence, Rite Foods Limited, in partnership with JAMB, has awarded N35 million in scholarships to seven of the highest-performing undergraduate candidates from the 2026 UTME cycle.
The scholarship rewards top-scoring students across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, with a dedicated slot allocated to a candidate from the JAMB Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG) to support students with special needs.
3. 2026 Original UTME Result Slip Printing Now Active
