The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has apologised for the delay in releasing the results of its April 17 examination batch.
The board assured candidates that the results will be made public before the end of the day.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Board’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, attributed the delay to the unavailability of the agency’s Chief Executive, who was engaged in an official assignment.
“We sincerely apologise for the delay in releasing the results for Friday, 17th April, which is the second batch in the series as earlier promised,” the statement read.
Benjamin explained that the Chief Executive is expected back in the office and that the release process would be completed later in the day.
“We assure candidates that the results will be released today, surely before nightfall,” he added.
The Board also expressed regret to candidates and stakeholders who had waited late into the night in anticipation of the release.
“We extend our heartfelt apologies to those who stayed up waiting for the release. Thank you for your patience and understanding,” the statement said.
JAMB has been releasing results in batches as part of its examination process, with thousands of candidates across the country awaiting their outcomes.
