The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on
Tuesday said the results of 111,981 candidates who sat for the 2018 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination had been withheld for “further screening”
while it had released 1,502,978 results.
The JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs, Dr. Fabian
Benjamin, who stated this in a release, noted that the results of the 350 blind
candidates, who took the 2018 UTME, had yet to be released.
Latest Reality Metro had exclusively reported
on Monday that the board would release the results of 1.3 million candidates on
Monday nationwide, after they had gone through all security checks and found to
be without malpractice.
The JAMB spokesperson said on Tuesday that 1.5
million results had been released while 111,981 were withheld for further
screening.
Benjamin said, “After viewing all CCTV footages
during the conduct of the 2018 UTME and considering reports from our
supervisors, monitors and other independent Nigerians, JAMB has released the
results of 1,502,978 candidates.
“1,652,825 candidates had indicated interest in
the examination by registering for the 2018 UTME. Also, 112,331 results are yet
to be released out of which 350 are the results of the blind candidates which
would be released soon and 111,981 results withheld for further screening.
“The figures above exclude foreign candidates
whose examination will be conducted in April.”
