JAMB releases 14,620, withholds 93, withdraws 14 UTME results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cleared and released the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results of 14,620 candidates that were previously under investigation, while withholding the results of 93 others.

The Head, Media and Information of the JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin who announced this in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, said the results were released following the consideration and approval of the recommendations of the investigators, at a management meeting which took place on Tuesday.

He said, “You will recall that the board, in its earlier release, stated that it will still review the results of the 2021 UTME exercise and any candidate found wanting will have his/her result withheld.

“Out of the withheld results, 13 were discovered to have been involved in examination infractions after they were released and the one earlier withdrawn, bringing the total of the results that have been withdrawn to 14.

“Results of 332 visually-impaired candidates, whose examination was conducted this month, have also been released.”
