JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, is scheduled to hold a
press briefing in Abuja on Monday regarding the release of the results and
related matters, as indicated in a notice circulated to journalists in the
capital city.
The notice was made available by the Board’s Head of Public
Relations, Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday.
However, there are indications that results that would be
released on Monday are for the candidates that participated in the UTME in the
first few days, while others would be released after “due diligence” is
completed.
The board earlier clarified that the decision to delay the
release of the results for a few days was made to allow ample time for thorough
scrutiny.
This measure, according to the examination body, was taken
to guarantee the credibility and integrity of the results, ensuring there are
no doubts or uncertainties, especially concerning issues such as impersonation,
mixed biometrics, and other forms of malpractices.
In the past week, more than 1.9 million candidates enrolled
for the 2024 UTME across over 700 Computer-Based Test centers nationwide.
The 2024 examination, which commenced on Friday, April 19,
2024, is expected to be concluded today.
