The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has given
more insight on why the results of 111,981 candidates that sat for this year’s
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), were withheld.
JAMB has released several batches of results, but some
candidates were yet to see theirs.
The Board’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin,
speaking with Premium Times, gave following reasons:
“There were candidates who went into the examination halls
with materials that were banned. Telephone handsets and other materials were
found on some of them”.
“There were even candidates who attempted to change the IP
addresses of the computer systems assigned to them.”
“There are centres that colluded with candidates. Maybe
their owners collected monies from the candidates and were dictating answers”.
Benjamin said he was not sure the results of the affected
candidates would be released, adding that the release of the results “depends
on the outcomes of the investigations. We are being fair and diligent in the
screening to ensure injustice is not done to anyone”.
