365Daily – Following a review and subsequent clearance, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the UTME results of 14,620 candidates who sat for the last UTME examinations.
However, the results of 93 other candidates remained withheld.
This development was disclosed by JAMB’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement issued in Abuja, on Tuesday, July 17, 2021.
He explained that the results were released by the management board following the consideration and approval of the recommendations of the investigators on Tuesday.
Benjamin explained: “You will recall that the board, in its earlier release, stated that it will still review the results of the 2021 UTME exercise and any candidate found wanting will have his/her result withheld.
“Out of the withheld results, 13 were discovered to have been involved in examination infractions after they were released and the one earlier withdrawn, bringing the total of the results that have been withdrawn to 14.
“Results of 332 blind candidates, whose examination was conducted this month, have also been released,” he said.
The Spokesman listed the candidates whose results were withdrawn as Gabriel Micheal, Lawson Joy, Sadiq Auwal, Attama Ikedichukwu (earlier withdrawn) Tambaya Yahaya, Anowa Anointing and Ogbonna Dibia.
Others were Ani Maryrose, Ayomiposi Precious, Ekeocha Michael, Oluwarotimi Ayanfeoluwa, Edu Abiola, Promise and Onyeama Odi.
