Man raises alarm after checking UTME result
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had raised an alarm on social media after checking his UTME result due to the unexpected message he received.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) candidate who wrote his exam on day two did not expect to get such an SMS. Day two of the 2026 JAMB UTME exam refers to Friday, April 17, and it is the second day of the nationwide Computer-Based Test (CBT) exercise, which began on April 16 and is scheduled to run until April 25.
Taking to a Facebook group 'JAMB 2026 Updates' on April 19, he stated that he thought that the results of those who wrote on day two would have been out by now. He wondered why he got such a text.
