Recall that NAIJ.com had earlier reported that over 1.3 million results of candidates that sat for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would be released on Monday, March 19, by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) after the scores have gone through security checks and found to be without malpractice.
The head of information of JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, who stated this on Sunday, March 18, in an interview, said the UTME results of Computer-Based Test centres where the CCTV showed malpractices had been cancelled.
He said some malpractices captured by the CCTV footage included CBT centre owners collecting money from candidates to engage in malpractices and also threatening JAMB officials at the centres.
