The board disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
Benjamin said that the suspension was to enable the board restructure examination towns to ensure closer proximity to candidates and reduce transportation challenges on examination days.
He explained that although candidates were usually allowed to select examination towns closest to their locations, the 2026 UTME registration commenced before structural anomalies were however detected in Ekiti’s examination towns’ configuration.
Benjamin said the anomalies necessitated urgent adjustments in the interest of candidates, prompting the temporary suspension of town selection in the state.
“Consequently, candidates will be unable to select any examination town in Ekiti State while the adjustment process is ongoing. This process is expected to be concluded shortly.
“The board regrets any inconvenience this temporary measure may cause candidates wishing to select examination towns in the ongoing registration exercise in Ekiti State.
“As a matter of practice, JAMB continuously monitors its operations and promptly addresses challenges reported by candidates,” he stated.
Benjamin expressed regret over any inconveniences the measure might cause the candidates affected during the ongoing registration exercise in the state.
He reaffirmed the board’s commitment to continuously improving its processes to ensure that all candidates were treated with dignity and respect.
