The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) which was conducted nationwide from April 11 to 18, this year, are ready but have not been released yet. Over 1.8 million candidates registered for the examination.According to the Head of the media and information of the Board, Fabian Benjamin, the release of the results will be publicized as soon as the Board is through with all it had set out to achieve.
“Yes, the results are all ready, but we are yet to release them because they are still being ratified.
“The board is carrying out all the checks and balances regarding these results, by way of viewing the CCTV camera, as well as attend to all findings brought before it while the examination lasted.
According to him, candidates should not be carried away by what he described as rumours and misleading information in some sections of the media, especially social media.
“The board want to distance itself from such rumours about releasing the results of candidates of the just concluded UTME and steps to check these results as being speculated.
“Candidates should disregard this information as it is not true. It is not emanating from the board.
“Candidates should not bother themselves going to any cyber cafe to check any result. Our result check has been standardised. We will forward the results to the respective telephone numbers of those candidates who are deserving of it.”
He said that the board is intensifying efforts to ensure that results of deserving candidates are released by next week.
