BREAKING NEWS ! JAMB Reveals When It Will Release Its 2019 UTME Results

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) says its server did not crash.
It said results of candidates who participated
in its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination ( UTME) are intact.
The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr
Fabian Benjamin, gave the assurance in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.
Benjamin reacted to speculations in some
quarters that the board issued a press
statement, explaining that the release of the
UTME results was being delayed because its
server crashed and that candidates should
prepare for another examination.
      ”We want to distance ourselves
from such malicious and wicked
rumours by fraudulent persons, as
there is no truth in them.
”We did not issue any press
statement concerning crashing of
server. All these are antics of
desperate persons trying to cause
panic and confusion among
candidates and the general public.
”We are not going to succumb to
such rumours as we remain
focused in ensuring that we
achieve what we have set out to
do.
”After the examination, the board
embarked on a screening to
determine any form of examination
malpractice and infractions by
both candidates and examination
centres. This is what has been
delaying the release of the
results,” he told NAN.
    The official said that the board had almost
completed the screening and would soon
releaseresults of deserving candidates


What we are trying to do is to
ensure that innocent persons are
not punished, but I can assure you
that we are going to punish all
those found wanting,” he said
             Benjamin appealed to Nigerians to believe in
the board’s ability to rid of what he
described as ‘criminal elements’
According to him, Nigerians should
appreciate what the board is doing as it is
for the benefit of the Nigerian child and the
national large.

We want to correct so many
things might have been taken for
granted in the past.
”When fraudulent individuals get
away with their mischievous acts,
it is because the society is in a
hurry to run to a conclusion, not
mindful of the fact that certain
acts should be pursued
painstakingly to a logical
conclusion.
”I want to let you know that the
board has secured conviction of
some UTME fraud suspects in
Kebbi.
”Therefore, we equally want to
seize this opportunity to thank the
judiciary for doing a good job, as
we urge others to key into what
has been achieved in Kebbi in an
effort to get rid of fraudulent
persons and sanitise the system,”
he said.

Benjamin urged candidates to be calm and
wait for their results to be released soon.

            ”I want to urge candidates not to
entertain any fear. Their results
are intact,” he said.
