Pastor Abel T Boma Releases Prophetic Message on 2026 WAEC and UTME Examinations
In a video message released on February 23, 2026, Pastor Abel T Boma has shared a significant prophecy concerning the upcoming West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for the year 2026. The clergyman's predictions have generated considerable discussion among educational stakeholders across Nigeria.
Detailed Prophecy for WAEC 2026 Examinations
Pastor Boma specifically addressed the WAEC examinations scheduled for May and June 2026, stating emphatically: "The Lord said these people that are writing WAEC this year, they will make it. A lot of people will pass this WAEC coming this May, June." According to his prophetic message, the examination questions will be notably easier to answer compared to previous years, making the tests more accessible for all candidates.
The pastor elaborated that this increased accessibility would result in a substantial number of successful candidates, potentially marking one of the most favorable WAEC examination periods in recent memory.
UTME 2026 Predictions and Educational Impact
Regarding the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) administered by JAMB, Pastor Boma delivered an equally optimistic prophecy: "And the Lord said JAMB's UTME 2026 will be favourable to so many young children. I saw WAEC becoming simple and easy to answer this year due to the questions. Because the Lord said 98% of people writing UTME 2026 will do well this year and it will help the education sector."
This remarkable prediction of a 98% success rate for UTME candidates has captured widespread attention. If realized, such an outcome could bring transformative positive changes to Nigeria's education sector. More students gaining admission into tertiary institutions would likely boost confidence in the educational system and encourage greater academic growth nationwide.
Context and Significance of the Examinations
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) represents a standardized test conducted annually by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) as the primary gateway for Nigerian students seeking admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. The examination assesses candidates in subjects relevant to their chosen courses of study through a computer-based format combining multiple-choice questions.
Each year, millions of Nigerian students sit for both WAEC and UTME examinations, making these assessments among the most significant academic milestones in the country's education landscape. Performance in these examinations directly determines eligibility for higher education opportunities.
Reactions and Broader Educational Context
Pastor Abel T Boma's prophecy has sparked extensive conversations among students, parents, educators, and policymakers across Nigeria. With WAEC and UTME representing crucial turning points for young Nigerians' academic futures, many stakeholders will be monitoring examination outcomes closely throughout 2026 to see if the prophetic words align with actual results.
The prophecy emerges against a backdrop of recent educational developments, including JAMB's apology for delays in releasing UTME results from examinations conducted in April 2026. The board had initially scheduled result releases for specific dates but faced postponements due to administrative circumstances, including the unavailability of key officials engaged in official assignments.
As the 2026 examination period approaches, Pastor Boma's predictions have added an intriguing dimension to the national conversation about educational outcomes and their broader implications for Nigeria's development trajectory.
