The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) last Saturday disclosed that it will
henceforth ensure it resolve all issues
concerning the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination before releasing the results.
This was disclosed by JAMB’s Head of Public
Relations, Mr. Fabian Benjamin, during an
interview with newsmen in Abuja after the
release of the July 1st supplementary
examination.
He explained that the results were delayed to
ensure that there were no issues in all the
centres where the supplementary exam was
conducted.
“The results had been ready as usual; we
release results two hours after examination;
this delay was because we wanted to take our
time to clear all issues.
“This is also to ensure that all the CCTV at
centres we conducted mop-up examinations
were adequately fixed; we do not want situation
where we release results before thinking of
cancelling it.
“What we want to be doing now as we have
started with this mop-up examination, and will
be doing in 2018, is to ensure all issues are
resolved before releasing results. It is our view
that there is no need rushing to release results;
it is better to do whatever is supposed to have
been done, before we release the results,” he
said.
He urged candidates yet to receive their
supplementary examination results, not to
panic, saying that no result from the mop-up
examination was outstanding.
He mentioned that the breakdown of the result
for the 2017 UTME can nit be made available at
this time by the board because the board is yet
to conduct the exam for foreign candidates.
“We are still writing exam and it will be unfair
to publish the whole results when people are
still writing. We just rolled out forms for foreign
centres, so once we finish that, which is not
going to take long, we will do the analysis and
come to a conclusion,” He said.
