Tertiary and Matriculation Examination, UTME, will begin getting text messages
from today (Thursday).
In total, at least 379,997 candidates in the five states of
the South East and Lagos are expected to participate.

“sabotage” of the 2025 UTME.
“The affected candidates will start getting text messages
for reschedule starting from tomorrow.
