The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the results of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results which started last Saturday across jamb cbt centres in Nigeria. Candidates can now login to jamb e-facility portal to check their results.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, who disclosed this at a briefing in Enugu, said he had no reason whatsoever to withhold the results of the UTME.
The registrar said his team was in the Southeast to assess what was going on with the conduct of the examinations as well as visit new University in Ebonyi.
He noted that JAMB registered 1,415,501 candidates in the UTME 2021.
According to him, the board has some 650 examination centres across the country, out of which 30 centres have been delisted for performing below standard.
“53 centres are currently under watch, while 600 of them performed excellently. It is our wish and desire that the board will continue to ensure that such non-performing centres with ulterior motive will not be allowed to participate in the exercise,” he said.
Oloyede explained that the use of National Identity Number, NIN, as directed by the federal government helped to reduce malpractice during the examinations.
He said: “We were talking about the bogus 2.2 million candidates, but it has become clearer that more than 500,000 of such number are fake and duplication. And we were able to detect this through NIN and now we have realistic number of JAMB candidates.’
The JAMB boss frowned on the activities of some elements to sabotage the exercise, but noted that they were all caught due to the system put in place for the examinations.
