The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of 531 candidates who wrote the recently conducted Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).
This puts the total number of UTME results so far released at 1,842,897.
The board’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, announced this in a statement yesterday in Abuja.
Benjamin said the board had screened over 64,000 withheld results due to cases of examination misconduct.
The statement said: “In the course of the exercise, other cases of examination misconduct were also established to make a tally of 92 from the 81 initially discovered.”
The JAMB spokesman said the board was also looking at cases of unverified candidates and would soon come up with a position.
He added that the attention of the board had been drawn to some fallacious publications purporting that an unknown candidate, who did not sit for the board’s 2024 UTME, obtained scores.
Benjamin described this as “fake, malicious and a calculated attempt to undermine the integrity of the board,” urging the public to disregard such publications.
He said the publication, which “levels such a grievous allegation, has no details of the candidate for proper verification”.
