Candidates can access the novel in either PDF or hard copy form. However, there is no need to worry about obtaining a copy, as every registered candidate will receive a hard copy of 'The Lekki Headmaster' at the registration center. The cost of the novel is already included in the ePin purchase, so no additional payment is required. For those aiming to score high in the 2026 UTME, the novel is essential.

There is no need to rush to bookstores to find the novel, as JAMB has likely secured most of the books for distribution to the nearly 2 million candidates expected for the 2026 UTME.
