No fewer than 1,969 candidates missed the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations and Direct Entry Examinations, The PUNCH reports.
The affected persons missed the examination over issues such as finger-print peculiarities; technical problems in some centres and Biometric Verification Matriculation failure, according to the data collated from the website of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board by our correspondent on Sunday.
The data also showed that some candidates had their examination cancelled due to malpractices in 10 examination centres across five states.
The board did not state the number of affected candidates in that category.
All the candidates who missed their examination and those whose results were cancelled in the 10 centres have, however, been slated to take part in a mop-up examination scheduled for August 6.
The board noted that the decision was taken after thorough investigation.
It said, “It should be noted that, as is the custom with the Board after every Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the various reports from its officials in the field and video footage of the examination are reviewed by its team of experts, with a view to detecting activities subversive of the examination process.
