The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it would release the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results on Saturday,11th of May 2019.
The 2019 UTME was held from April 11 to April 18 with over 1.8 million registered candidates. Since then, the board has not yet released the results of its candidates.
The board’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who spoke to newsmen on Friday in Abuja confirmed that all results will be out by saturday.
He explained that the major reason the results were held for so long is because the body first screened the entire candidates’ results to weed out those who were involved in any form of malpractice during the examination.
Meanwhile, the Registrar has paraded a staff of the board, who allegedly collected N25, 000 from a 2018 admission seeker. He said the suspect was reported to the JAMB management after he couldn’t meet the demand.
The registrar reiterated the board’s determination to deal decisively with anyone, including its staff, found involved in any form of infraction.
