ABUJA, Nigeria — The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has unveiled the much-anticipated results of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). With over 1.94 million candidates participating across 118 towns and 700 centres nationwide, the release of these results marks a crucial milestone for aspiring students seeking admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
Announcing the results at a press conference held at the board’s headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of JAMB, emphasized the board’s commitment to ensuring the credibility and integrity of the results. The delay in releasing the results was attributed to the meticulous scrutiny required to address concerns such as impersonation, mixed biometrics, and other forms of malpractices.
