The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the result of the
Computer Based Test of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, for the
57,000 candidates that wrote the
examination on Saturday, Vanguard reported.
This was disclosed on Monday by the Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede. He said that the results of over 57,000 candidates had
been released.
He also said that the examination could not go on at the Lagos State University of Technology, LAUTECH because of the ongoing strike in the institution, saying that
if the strike was not called off by today (Monday), the authorities of JAMB will have no other option than to relocate the candidates to University of Ilorin which he
said was the nearest centre from
Ogbomosho.
It has also been revealed that racketeers have allegedly duped some of the candidates by selling fake examination questions they tagged, ‘origi’ for N200,000
which JAMB latter discovered that the questions were the JAMB questions in 1984.
Meantime, security operatives have arrested one of the “candidates”in Aba, Abia state for
allegedly attacking the JAMB officials that prevented him from gaining entry into the
exam centre.
