2019 UTME | JAMB Releases Withheld Results, Gives Official Statement
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) today announced the release of 4,536 previously withheld 2019 UTME results.
According to Dr Fabian Benjamin the JAMB's Head of Information, the results were previously withheld due to allegations of multiple infractions.
Recall that out of over 1.8 millions candidates that sat for the examination, only 1,792,000 results were released on May 11.
However on the 31st of May 31, 2019, the examination body announced it had cleared 4,536 out of 4,760 withheld results.

According to the board, the release was as a result of the decision of a committee set up to examine the multiple facial identities. It also said that the facial match recognition was carried out by its specialised software and Information Technology experts.
In addition to the release of the results, the board also announced the suspension of the Nigerian Navy Secondary School centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State as a JAMB centre due to “acts not acceptable by the board.”

“Following the consideration of the committee on the 4,760 candidates whose results were withheld due to multiple facial matches with different names, the board has released the results of 4,536 absolved of complication.
“The board also released the results of 231 candidates who sat for the examination at the Nigerian Navy Secondary School, Abeokuta, Ogun State. However, the centre has been suspended for acts not acceptable by the board. Out of the number subjected for screening, the board will subject the results of 127 candidates for further physical examination while the results of 97 candidates established to have involved in infractions are withheld.
“Those to be subjected to further physical examination will be contacted. They must appear before an inspection team to clarify other likely areas of multiplicity. The 127 have been grouped in zones for convenience and easy accessibility.”
