The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), while placing nearly 40,000 results under investigation.
Speaking at a press briefing on Friday, JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, revealed that the results of 39,834 candidates are currently being withheld due to reported cases of exam malpractice and other discrepancies.
Over 1.9 million candidates had registered for and participated in this year’s UTME across the country.
The Registrar further disclosed that 80 individuals are being interrogated nationwide in connection with various forms of examination fraud.
Anambra State recorded the highest number of suspects, with 14 currently in custody.
