The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of candidates who participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted between 21 June and 22 June.
This is contained in a statement in Abuja on Friday by the
board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
JAMB said the supplementary examination was conducted for
28,835 candidates, who were unable to be biometrically verified during the main
2024 UTME.
Similarly, the board said the other category of candidates
were those suspected to have been involved in examination malpractices during
the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit the examination.
“The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was
marked by heightened security measures put in place by the Board to preclude
any instance of examination infractions.
“As such, some nefarious characters, who had attempted to
impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law
enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution,” the board
said.
The board said It will continue to ensure that no candidate
benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of
state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.
JAMB, therefore, urged candidates to refrain from engaging
in any form of irregularity during their examinations.
The board also enjoined candidates to refrain from
soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or mutilating their result sheets
while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores.
JAMB advised candidates to check their supplementary UTME
results, candidates by sending UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the
same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of
registration. NAN
