3,500 candidates, who sat the post- Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for admission into the University of Benin (UNIBEN) may have to resit the examination or risk missing their admissions.

The university had in a text message urged candidates across the country to return to the university and retake the test following the collapse of the institution’s internet servers.

The message read “If you know anyone that wrote the post-UTME examination on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at the ICT Hall, UGBOWO, tell the person to come back for the test.

“UNIBEN server failed applicants that wrote at 9:00 a.m and 10.30 a.m. Authorities have tried their best to call some students but their phones were off. Tell your loved ones”.

Also, a statement issued by the institution’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Benedicta Ehanire, said there was no cause for alarm following the technical hitches.
