JAMB withholds 80,419 results, cancels 40,692


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has withheld the results of 80,419 candidates among those that sat for the last Saturday’s 2013 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
Of this figure, 12,110 candidates’ results “are withheld for a possible disciplinary action” while 68,309 results “from various centres are still
undergoing further screening,” JAMB Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, said on Friday during the official release of the results.
“About 40,692 results were invalid due to multiple shading or no shading at all,” he stated.
Ojerinde, who addressed journalists at the examination body’s National Headquarters, Bwari, Abuja, said the irregularities were discovered after processing the answer scripts.
He lamented that candidates had changed their style of perpetrating examination malpractices from wearing ‘magic slippers,’ to wearing “long sleeve shirts that bore imprint of prepared answers.”
