The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cancelled the registrations of 817 candidates in the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Registrar of JAMB, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, who made this known on Tuesday after separate meetings with stakeholders, said the registrations were invalidated over identified infractions bordering on use of strange biometric fingerprints in the registration process.
While saying some registration officers in the affected 178 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres added one of their fingerprints to complete the registration process for the candidates, Oloyede, however, said the 817 candidates would be given another opportunity to re-register for the examination with the centres bearing the cost.
