JAMB RELEASES RESULTS OF ADDITIONAL 531 CANDIDATES
Read Time:2 Minute, 31 Second
An additional 531 results from the recently held Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations have been made public by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, bringing the total number of results revealed to 1,842,897.
This information was released on Tuesday in Abuja by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board’s Public Communication Advisor.
According to Benjamin, the Board has screened more than 64,000 results that were withheld because of examination malpractice.
“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,” he said.
He went on to say that the Board was considering situations involving candidates who had not been verified and would soon announce a position.
He continued by saying that several false articles claiming that an unidentified applicant who did not participate in the Board’s 2024 UTME received scores had caught the attention of the Board.
Benjamin urged the public to ignore such publications and called this phony, malevolent, and a planned attempt to compromise the Board’s credibility.
He said that the publication which levels such a grievous allegation, has no details of the candidate for proper verification.
“The Board is not surprised as this is the season of mischief makers, who would want to deceive gullible candidates.
“The examination template of the Board is designed with the highest sense of responsibility and is not an allocation platform where scores are doled out to candidates.
“It is most unfortunate that anybody could even believe such narration or that the story could even gain traction given the Board’s integrity.
“This again has gone to further vindicate the Board’s stance that candidates should desist from disclosing their classified details to third parties,” he said.
He said that in investigating some of these allegations, the Board discovered that some of these mischief makers copied results sent to other candidates.
“They then edit the details sent to them and then parade this as emanating from the Board.
“The Board challenges any candidate, parent or anybody with such a claim to prove it wrong by coming forward with the details of such claims, and the phone number with which such results were conveyed,“ he said.
He said that this development would only propel the Board to further tighten the process of checking its results to make it more personalized.
Benjamin said it would be stringent when it should be a straightforward exercise.
“The Board reiterated that neither its results nor any of its processes have been compromised.
“Hence, it will continue to protect the integrity of its systems against such malicious actors, who are hell-bent on creating confusion where none existed,” he said.
Benjamin stated that the Board will add more features like registration numbers to the existing UTME result-checking process going forward, to make it extra difficult for anybody to edit.
He urged candidates to securely keep their details secure, noting that if they were found associating with any of these mischievous elements, they would be treated as collaborators.
