Jamb Withholds 69 UTME Results, Screens 27,105 Again

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board on Thursday said it would further screen 27,105 results of candidates who wrote the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. The board also noted that it had withheld 69 results so far.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the board’s Registrar, Prof Isiaq Oloyede, had said JAMB would screen results of candidates before releasing them.

In the statistics made available via the official Twitter handle of the board, @jAMBHQ, the board noted that 1,761,338 candidates registered for the 2022 UTME.

JAMB noted that only 1,671,203 results out of the 1,707,626 candidates who sat for the examination were released. 27,105 results, according to JAMB, would be subjected to further screening.

The board said 69 results were withheld while 1,783 candidates would be rescheduled to write the exam as a result of biometric challenges.

The PUNCH reports that the 2022 UTME examination, unlike previous years, was said to be a huge success.

Despite initial challenges, such as high diesel cost, JAMB collaborated with examination centres in the procurement of diesel. The board also noted that it would subsequently adopt the use of laptops for examinations.

Chrisland Schools Says No Act Of Sexual Violence Happened Under Its Watch

The authorities of Chrisland School have said no act of sexual violence was committed by its students under its watch in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

A woman had earlier claimed that her 10-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted during a trip to Dubai which was organised by the Lagos school.

In a statement by a member of Chrisland advisory board, Akin Fadeyi, the school said 76 students had been enlisted for the Dubai trip, while 71 of that figure had abided by its code of conduct.

The board member also said male and female students had been kept seven floors apart in the hotel where they lodged in Dubai.

Fadeyi stated that disciplinary actions had been dealt against the remaining five students who flouted its pre-set rules.

He also denied that a pregnancy test was conducted on the minor, explaining that it was a Covid post travel test.

He said efforts are in place to provide psychosocial support for all the students who embarked on the trip.

JAMB Discovers 1 Million Illegal Admissions

Consequently, the Hon. Minister of Education, Mall. Adamu Adamu, out of compassion, approved a final batch of these underhand admissions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has discovered one million illegal institutional admissions so far.

The board said this was responsible for the inability of some candidates to obtain their admission letters to qualify them to proceed on the 1 year mandatory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, or obtain exemption letters.

On Thursday, March 17, 2022, JAMB’s Head, Media and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement, said these were illegal institutional admissions conducted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) between 2017 and 2020.

The statement said: “The series of complaints emanated from the frustrations of these students, who are expressing anger at the lack of formal recognition of their degrees by relevant authorities.

“Consequently, the Hon. Minister of Education, Mall. Adamu Adamu, out of compassion, approved a final batch of these underhand admissions.

“It should be recalled that based on that act of magnanimity, the Board had placed relevant advertisements in three national dailies (Blueprint, Guardian and Vanguard) of 24th November 2021. The same notice was featured on the Board’s website coupled with an easy-to-use Advisory issued to all institutions of higher learning to guide them on how these candidates could be redeemed.

“Based on available data, close to one million undisclosed illegal institutional admissions have been disclosed so far. What is, however, surprising is that, as of today, less than 5% of such students’ details had been uploaded on the Board portal by the institutions as required.

“It’s even more egregious to note that even among the few that had been uploaded by the schools on the Board portal many of the schools had not correctly keyed in their details.”

JAMB urged institutions to immediately upload appropriately the matriculation numbers, names, disciplines, year of graduation and other necessary details of the candidates for the Board to process the candidates’ condonement applications.
