Why We Will Not Release JAMB 2018 Results

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
revealed that it will not release the 2018 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) results immediately, like it did
last year.

According to the registrar of the board, Ishaq Oloyede, the
reason for the delay in releasing the results is to review the
activities of the candidates and to minimise the number of
cancellations.

He stated this during a press conference titled “Conduct of the
2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination” in Abuja on
Wednesday.

“We want to monitor everything that happens through our
CCTV cameras. Last year, we proved a point that there is
nothing extraordinary in the immediate release of results but
we had to cancel some results when we found out what
happened in some centres.

So, if we have to take two or three
days to look at the conduct of the candidates before releasing
the result so as to minimise cancellation, then we will do so”,
he said.

The examination is scheduled to begin on Friday, March 9,
to March 17.
