The examination board made this known via its X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @Neconigeria
Legit.ng reported that students and parents alike were becoming anxious following the non-release of the result.
The tension was because many SS3 students wrote the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) while awaiting results.
