THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has released the results of about 450,000 candidates who sat for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, on Tuesday, according to a statement issued by Fabian Benjamin, Head of Media and Information.

Benjamin said that candidates, who sat for the examination on Tuesday, should check their results by sending ‘RESULT’ to 55019 and not on the website of the board.  

The statement reads: “The result of the over 450,000 candidates who sat for the exam on Tuesday will also be released before noon today. (Wednesday).

“To check their results, candidates are to send ‘RESULT’ to 55019 and not on the board’s website. We urge the public to always cross-check the information provided on social media.

“Results of the examination will continue to be released as examinations are taken. In a few days from now, we will be concluding the 2020 exercise and we urge all candidates to be vigilant, as fraudsters, who couldn’t operate successfully, given the security measures put in place to secure our system, would want to use every opportunity of information gap to defraud or mislead unsuspecting candidates.”
