JAMB avoids giving further dates after failing to release 2019 Utme results

JAMB avoids giving further dates after failing to release 2019 Utme results – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have tactfully avoided giving further dates for the release of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) after failing to release the results as earlier promised.

Financial watch gathered the Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, on Friday spoke to journalists about the progress being made on the ongoing probe into malpractice in the system between 2009 – 2019; but when asked about when 2019 Jamb results will be released, he did not state the day the 2019 UTME results would be released.

Recall that the examination body has promised candidates who sat for the 2019 Utme that it will release the results this week, but all indications appears that is not going to happen.

Oloyode however dismissed insinuation that it’s sever had crashed which he described as “amusing”.

Speaking on the probe into examination malpractice in the system, the registrar said the outcome of its probe into examination fraud between 2009- 2019 would shock many Nigerians.

Oloyede said although the board may not be able to punish these persons because they had already left the system, but it would go ahead to publish their names to shame them.

The JAMB Registrar spoke at the 23rd annual seminar of the Nigerian Academy of Education under the topic, “Admissions into tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria.”

He also said the board has hired a Senior Advocate of Nigeria to prosecute over 100 persons caught in various malpractices during the UTME which held between April 11 and 18, and who were arrested by security operatives across the country.

The registrar did not name the SAN leading the prosecution of UTME candidates and professional examination fraudsters.
