The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted five Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres over technical failures during the ongoing 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, the Board said the delisted centres, located in Kano, Sokoto, and Imo states, were found to have fallen short of the Board’s minimum operational standards.
The affected centres include: Adventure Associate, Off Hadejia Road, Kano; Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Zaria Road, Naibawa, Kano; Penta M & F Technical Services Ltd, Centre 1, 96km Sokoto-Jega Road, Tambuwal; Penta M & F Technical Services Ltd, Centre 2, 96km Sokoto-Jega Road, Tambuwal and Soronara Ventured Nigeria Limited, Foundation Road, Umudagu Mbieri, Imo State.
The Board advises candidates who were previously scheduled to take their exams at the delisted centres to urgently reprint their examination notification slips to access their new centres and rescheduled dates.
“We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but we will not tolerate excuses by candidates who fail to reprint their slip to get their new schedules,” it stated.
It added that as of Friday, 25 April, over 900,000 candidates have successfully completed the UTME out of the 2,083,600 registered for the 2025 examination.
“We commend the 883 centres that have demonstrated exceptional performance and we unequivocally warn that any centre which failed the ethical or technical standards, regardless of ownership, will be blacklisted,” it added.
