No fewer than 536 blind candidates and other candidates with special needs participated in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The exam was administered across 11 designated centres nationwide, with special arrangements made to accommodate their needs. JAMB Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG) chairman, Emeritus Professor Peter Okebukola, disclosed the figure in a statement released in Abuja.
Blind and visually impaired candidates now have confirmed access to dedicated UTME centres with tailored support. Affected candidates should contact JAMB through official channels to confirm current accommodation procedures for future examinations.
