JAMB Suspends Exam Town Selection for 2026 UTME Candidates in Ekiti

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has temporarily suspended the selection of examination towns for candidates registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Ekiti State. This measure was taken to allow the board to correct structural anomalies in the town configurations and reorganize them to be closer to candidates, reducing travel difficulties. JAMB’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, explained that the suspension is a short-term adjustment that will be resolved once the restructuring is complete. In the meantime, candidates are unable to select any town within Ekiti State but are advised to stay updated via official channels for when the selection process resumes.
