The Board’s Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin,
disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
in Abuja.
According to Benjamin, more than 12,000 candidates
are expected to sit for the mop up examinations in a few of its
centres across the country.
This category of candidates, he explained, are
those whose biometrics were not captured during the initial period of
the UTME in March.
He said: ““It would also include those who are
yet to see their results since the end of the examinations in March
till date and have not been involved in any form of malpractice.
“It will also include those who were unable to
print out their e-slip before the earlier examinations and those
whose centres were cancelled for suspected malpractices.’’

According to him, “There are centres that were
cancelled because of suspicious activities but the board was unable
to identify the actual culprits.
However, he said that those who were involved and
caught in illicit acts and centres where a case of malpractice had
been established against them would not partake in the rescheduled
examinations.
He advised candidates who might have fallen into
any of the categories to print their e-slips from Monday, May 21.
NAN
recalls the board had earlier promised to reschedule the examinations
for some candidates whose cases were exceptional, adding that
candidates, who fall under such categories would be contacted before
then.
