The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the release of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results, revealing that 39,834 results are being withheld due to suspicions of exam malpractice.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede confirmed that over 1.9 million candidates sat for the nationwide examination, which marks a critical step for university admissions in Nigeria.
However, the release comes with a strong caution as JAMB intensifies its efforts to sanitise the examination process.
He also disclosed that 80 individuals have been arrested for examination fraud across several states.
