BREAKING: JAMB releases 279 UTME results previously withheld

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has finally released 279 results from those previously held for further investigation.

This is in addition to the results earlier released by the Board. The examination body disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.

The release follows ongoing investigations into cases of suspected examination malpractice.

JAMB stated that while some results have been outrightly cancelled where evidence of malpractice was established, others have been released where the Board found no prima facie case against the affected candidates.

Results from centers where the Board’s live monitoring team observed suspicious activities, or where adverse reports were received, remain withheld pending further investigation. Where sufficient evidence of culpability is established, such results will be cancelled.

“Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results,” JAMB stated.
