JAMB Releases 14,620 UTME Results, Withdraws 14

Following an investigation conducted by the board, results of 14,620 candidates for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), have been released by Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), while it withheld those of 93 candidates.

According to JAMB’s Head of Media, Mr Fabian Benjamin, the decision to release the results followed the consideration and further approval of the recommendations of the investigators by the board’ management at a meeting on Tuesday, 27, 2021.

The statement stated further that the results of 332 blind candidates whose examination was conducted this month have also been released.

“You will recall that the Board, in its earlier release, stated it would still review the results of the 2021 UTME exercise and any candidate found wanting would have his/her result withheld. Out of the withheld results, thirteen were discovered to have been involved in examination infractions after they were released and the one withdrew bringing the total of the results that have been withdrawn to fourteen.

“The affected candidates whose results have been withdrawn include ”Gabriel Micheal; Lawson Ruth Joy; Sadiq Mahbub Auwal; Attama Lawrence Ikedichukwu; Tambaya Yahaya; Anowa Anointing and Ogbonna Joseph Dibia; Ani Maryrose AdaLoki) Loiki Ayomiposi Precious; Ekeocha Chinecherem Michael; Oluwarotimi Toluwanimi Ayanfeoluwa; Edu Teslim Abiola; Simon Friday Promise and Onyeama Odi,” the statement concluded.
