JAMB goes back on its promise as it fails to release 2019 UTME Results on Monday

Once again, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has failed to release the results of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) after giving it’s word that the results would be ready as from Monday, dashing candidates hopes yet again.

In previous report by NIGERIA NEWS, JAMB’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian, Benjamin, had stated that the 2019 UTME results would be ready anytime from Monday, April 29, after the conclusion of the screening exercise.

According to JAMB, the results would only be released after they had gone trough rigorous and detailed screening to fish out candidates who engaged in examination malpractices.

Benjamin mentioned in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Monday, that the results would be officially released “anytime” within the week.

He made this statement because candidates would be disappointed as the results would not be ready on the first two days of the week as the board is yet to conclude the screening of the results.

Benjamin said, “We will not release it today, Monday and will not release it tomorrow, Tuesday.

“What we said was anytime within this week. By implication, we are concluding the screening exercise this week and results can be released anytime within the week.”

The JAMB spokesperson appealed to the public to get to the bottom of all media reports to avoid misconception as the board was committed to ensuring sanity in the system.

The 2019 UTME started on April 11th and ended on April 18th, with over 1.2 million candidates sitting for the examination nationwide.
