Nigerian exams body, JAMB gives fresh update on withheld UTME 2024 results, details surface

• JAMB has announced that the results of some candidates who took the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will not be released
• JAMB said there are enough pieces of evidence against UTME candidates with withheld results that they were involved in examination infractions
• Legit.ng reports that the examination agency stated that those getting responses that their results are under investigation most likely also broke some laws

Garki, Abuja - The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said withheld results would not be released.

JAMB disclosed this on Thursday morning, May 2, while quoting a tweet through its official X (formerly Twitter) handle.

The examination body, however, said results under investigation might be released, “if not found guilty thereafter”.

An inquirer, Shehu Abdulrahman Adeiza, had quizzed:

“@JAMBHQ Good morning. My friends wrote JAMB this year but they checked their results.“One was withheld and the other was under investigation...... Please what is the cause of this and is there any solution to this...What can they do???”

JAMB responded:

“Perhaps there are enough evidence against them that they were involved in examination infractions. Please be aware that the withheld result won't be released, however, the one under investigation might be, if not found guilty thereafter.”
