The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of the 28,835 candidates who sat for the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, conducted on Friday, 21st and Saturday, 22nd June 2024.
A statement by its Public Communications Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, explained that the 28,835 candidates, were those who could not be biometricaly verified during the main 2024 UTME and were, therefore, unable to take their examination.
“Similarly, the other category of candidates were those suspected to have been involved in examination malpractices during the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit for the examination,” Fabian said.
The statement urged candidates to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration, to check their results.
According to JAMB, the supplementary UTME recorded a huge success nationwide, and was marked by heightened security to preclude any instance of examination infractions.
“As such, 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 would continue to ensure that no candidate benefit from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during and after its examinations.
“Candidates are, therefore, urged in their own interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularities during their examinations.
“They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrade from fraudsters or engage in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores,” the statement said
