The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released an additional 531 results of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME),
This brought the total number of results released by the Board to 1,842,897.
The JAMB Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.
Benjamin said the Board had proceeded with the screening of over 64,000 withheld results due to cases of examination misconduct.
He 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.”
He said the Board was also looking at cases of unverified candidates and would soon come up with a position.
Benjamin described the claim as fake, malicious and a calculated attempt to undermine the integrity of the Board and urged the public to disregard the reports.
The spokesman added: “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.
“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.”
