Why we’ve not released any result yet, JAMB says, as 1.2m candidates sit UTME so far

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said it has not released any result relating to the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

It said this was because the Board was still screening the results due to certain issues surrounding the examination.

The exam body said that, so far, over 1.2 million candidates have written the 2021 UTME.

It also said it would ensure the smooth and successful conduct of the examination.

The Board’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Bwari.

He said that as of April 13, over 1.2 million have successfully written the examination scheduled to end April 17.

NAN reports that over 1.8 million candidates are expected to sit for the Board’s UTME that commenced nationwide on April 11.

Benjamin said the process of the examination has so far been successful, adding that the Board was addressing some of the challenges that came up during the exercise.

He also said that the Board was still investigating those who were unable to be verified through its biometric process and would come out with a stand on the matter.

Speaking also on the issue of results, Benjamin said that no result has been released yet.

He explained that the Board was still screening the results as the examination is still ongoing and also because more fraudulent activities are being identified in the process.

He said: “We have to keep screening these results because there are lots of issues we discovered, such as multiple registrations, impersonation and the likes. So, we are still fishing them out.

“Some have been arrested and those yet to be arrested, we have their records. We will fish them out.

“However, candidates should expect their results very soon.”

He added that the Board’s suspension of some Computer Based Test centres nationwide has not affected the candidates.

Benjamin explained that adequate examination centres were provided to all who registered for the examination.

The Board, in its weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar for April 15, said that it uncovered and arrested ‘professional examination writers’ who write examinations for candidates for a fee.

According to the bulletin, 50 of such fraudulent persons were apprehended in centres across the country as a result of various intelligence gathering.

The bulletin also said that the Board suspended 49 CBT centres from participating in the ongoing exercise.

The suspended centres, which are spread across the country, were suspended for failing to live up to expectations in ensuring a seamless examination.

Thirty of the exam centres were suspended during the start of the exam on April 11, while the other 19 were blacklisted during the registration exercise.

Ten of the centres are located in the FCT, bulletin revealed.

Chelsea Or Arsenal Might Win The League - Riyad Mahrez

The Etihad club's forward refuses to write off the challenge of any of the teams in the Premier League's top four Riyad Mahrez says any of the top four teams can win the Premier League - despite Manchester City's domination of the title race. The champions and league leaders put further pressure on the chasing pack with their battling win at Watford on Tuesday night. A 2-1 success put them five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and 10 in front of Chelsea in third ahead of Wednesday night's action. Mahrez, scorer of City's second at Vicarage Road, will not write off his team's rivals, however. While Liverpool can close the gap to two points by winning at Burnley, when asked by CityTV about the gulf between the Etihad outfit and Chelsea, he said: "Of course, everyone in the top four can win the league." Pep Guardiola’s men held their nerve as Watford made a sustained late effort for an equaliser. And Mahrez, 27, believes it was the kind of...
