Some 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates affected by biometric verification glitches have appealed

JAMB used biometrics for the examinations that held between April 11- 17 with about 1.8 million registered candidates.

But it was discovered some candidates, on getting to exam centres, were disqualified because the biometric verification was unable to capture their fingers. “I did my fingerprints and my information didn’t appear on the system. So, i was unable to do the exam. “We tried doing it again but it kept on failing. So, we were asked to fill a form and go home that they will call us.“

Mother of an affected candidate from Lagos, Mrs. Okeeya, said: “My child registered for the examination at an accredited centre and when she called me she was unable to do the exam. I felt bad.
