The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has urged candidates to refrain from engaging in any form of examination malpractice, while writing exams.
This was revealed in a statement by the board’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
While stating that JAMB has released the results of candidates who participated in the June 2024 supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
Recall that JAMB had conducted a supplementary exam for 28,835 applicants who were unable to provide biometric verification during the main 2024 UTME.
According to him, the exercise recorded a huge success nationwide, and was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the board to preclude any instance of examination infractions.
“Some nefarious characters who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution.
“The board will continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after its examinations.” The statement read.
He also asked candidates to check their supplementary UTME results by texting “UTMERESULT” to either 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number they used to obtain their profile codes at the start of registration.”
