Just in: JAMB releases 2024 supplementary UTME results
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced the release of results of candidates who participated in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME. Recall that the examination was conducted between Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22, 2024. The board disclosed the release in a statement Friday morning by its spokesman, Fabian Benjamin. The supplementary examination was conducted for 28,835 candidates who were unable to be biometrically verified during the main 2024 UTME and were, therefore, unable to take their examination. Similarly, the other category of candidates were those suspected to have been involved in examination malpractices during the main UTME but who were given a second chance to sit the examination. “The exercise, which recorded a huge success nationwide, was marked by heightened security measures put in place by the Board to preclude any instance of examination infractions. As such, some nefarious characters who had attempted to impersonate bona fide candidates were apprehended and handed over to law enforcement agencies for further investigation and prosecution, “the statement read. It read further: “The board would continue to ensure that no candidate benefits from any acts of infractions through the deployment of state-of-the-art technology before, during, and after its examinations. “Candidates are, therefore, urged in their own interest to refrain from engaging in any form of irregularity during their examinations. “They are also enjoined to desist from soliciting score upgrades from fraudsters or engage in the mutilation of their result sheets while trying to generate fake result sheets with higher scores. “To check their supplementary UTME results, candidates are to send UTMERESULT to either 55019 or 66019 through the same phone number they had used to generate their profile codes at the start of registration.”

UTME Result: I actually got 249, not 362, Mmesoma finally confesses
Mmesoma Joy Ejikeme has said that she realized that she scored 249 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), instead of the 362 she printed. The 19-year-old claimed her “results notification” slip for the UTME showing a score of 362 out of 400 was printed from the JAMB results portal. However, the board had argued that she is parading a forged result on a template it discontinued in 2021, that her official score is 249. On Tuesday, JAMB insisted that her result is “patently f@ke”, saying it had withdrawn her result and consequently barred her from writing the examination for the next three years. Appearing on the show on Channels TV Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, JAMB spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, revealed its records indicated the candidate had sent a series of messages to the board’s automated telecoms system, including the results showing an aggregate of 362. However, Mmesoma, who appeared with her father Romanus on the Wednesday edition of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, said she should not be blamed for the controversy. “It’s not my fault that I printed my result like that and they said that I forged my result. It’s not my fault. So, them banning it is not fair,” she said. Mmesoma said the only SMS she sent to JAMB was through its support system: “That’s the only SMS I sent there.” Asked if she got any feedback, she said, “They didn’t reply. If they check their JAMB Support System, they would see that I sent a text message. They didn’t reply.” On the claim that she used an Airtel line, Mmesoma replied: “Yes,” but she added it was “not through USSD code”. “The one I checked through the USSD code is the one of 360 (sic) that I saw,” she explained further. Responding to the claim that the feedback from JAMB showed her score as 249, she agreed. “Yes,” she said. “After all said and done, I now saw that I got 249. I sent them a text message there to know what really happened — the JAMB Support System. If they go to their system, they will see it there.”
