The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released additional 531 results from the ones it withheld, taking the total number of results released so far to 1,842,897.
The Board, in a statement signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, its spokesman, said in the course of the exercise, other cases of examination misconduct were also established to make a tally of 92 from the 81 initially discovered.
He said the board is proceeding with the screening of over 64,000 withheld results.
“The Board is also looking at cases of unverified candidates and would soon come up with a position,” the statement reads.
While citing the case of an unknown candidate, who did not sit the 2024 UTME but claimed to have obtained scores, Benjamin said, “This is fake, malicious and a calculated attempt to undermine the integrity of the Board. The public is urged to disregard such irresponsible publications.”

“To underscore the fact that the publication is crafted by mischief makers to paint the Board in bad light, the publication, which levels such a grevious allegation, has no details of the candidate for proper verification.”He added: “The examination template of the Board is designed with the highest sense of responsibility and is not an allocation platform where scores are doled out to candidates. It is most unfortunate that anybody could even believe such narration or that the story could even gain traction given the Board’s integrity.
“This again has gone to further vindicate the Board’s stance that candidates should desist from disclosing their classified details to third-parties. ”
He said the attitude of these mischief makers would only propel the Board to further tighten the process of checking its results to make it more personalized and sure would be stringent when it should actually be a simple and straightforward exercise.
