The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, JAMB, has said it will ensure the smooth and successful completion of the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)

The Board’s Head of Media and Publicity, Febian Benjamin, disclosed this to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday (yesterday)

He said as of April 13, over 1.2 million candidates have successfully written the examination scheduled to end April 17.

Over 1.8 million candidates registered for the Board’s UTME which commenced nationwide on April 11.

Benjamin said the process of the examination has so far been successful, adding that the Board was addressing some of the challenges that came up during the examination.

JAMB’S image maker said no results have yet been released, pointing out that the Board was still screening the results as the examination was ongoing and also because more fraudulent activities were being identified in the process.

He said: “We have to keep screening these results because there are lots of issues we discovered like multiple registrations, impersonation and the likes, so we are still fishing them out.

“Some have been arrested and those yet to be arrested, we have their records, we will fish them out. However, candidates should expect their results very soon.”

He added that the Board’s suspension of some Computer Based Test centres nationwide did not affect the candidates as adequate examination centres were provided to all who registered for the examination.
