Omoregie explained that 19,987 candidates sat for the examination, while 14,515 (72.62 per cent) were successful.

“Out of the 802 candidates affected by the technical hitch of December 8, 99 per cent returned to re-sit the examination.

“Less than ten candidates yet to re-sit got another date through their e-mails and telephone numbers,” he said.
