More than 1.8 million candidates who sat for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have had their results released in batches by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Results for those who wrote on Thursday, April 16, Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18 have been published, while results for Monday's candidates are pending. Candidates can check their scores by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 from the phone number linked to their JAMB registration, provided they have at least N50 airtime. JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin confirmed that detailed result slips are not yet printable but will be available later on efacility.jamb.gov.ng for a fee of N1,500. Once activated, candidates must log in with their registered email and password, select the 2026 examination year, enter their JAMB registration number, and proceed with payment to download and print the slip. Only the official JAMB websites—efacility.jamb.gov.ng or portal.jamb.gov.ng—should be used to avoid fraud.
Candidates who have received their UTME scores via SMS must wait for the printing function to be activated before obtaining an official result slip. Affected students should monitor efacility.jamb.gov.ng daily and ensure they have N1,500 available for the printing fee once the service is live.
