The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the withheld 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results will not be released.
JAMB made this known on Thursday, May 2, 2024, while fielding a question from an X user, Shehu Abdulrahman Adeiza, who asked the board about his friends’ UTME results which were held and placed under investigation.
Adeiza wrote: “Good morning. My friends wrote JAMB this year but they checked their results.
“One was withheld and the other was under investigation. Please what is the cause of this and is there any solution to this…What can they do???”
Responding, JAMB said: “Perhaps there are enough evidence against them that they were involved in examination infractions.

“Please be aware that the withheld result won’t be released, however, the one under investigation might be, if not found guilty thereafter.”
The Star recalls that JAMB released the 2024 UTME results on Monday, April 29.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, while announcing the release of the results, disclosed that 64,624 results were under investigation for various reasons such as verification (2,896), procedural investigations (4,594), and prima facie established exam misconduct (78).
The JAMB boss said other results under investigation were centre-based investigations involving 57,056 candidates in 18 centres across the country.
Oloyede added that 8,401 candidates representing 0.5 per cent scored 300 and above, while 77,070 candidates representing 4.2 per cent scored 250 and above.
He noted that 439,974 candidates representing 24 per cent scored 200 and above, while 1,402,490 representing 76 per cent scored below 200.
The JAMB Registrar revealed that 1,989,668 candidates registered for the examinations held in 118 towns in 774 Computer Based Test (CBT) centres.
Oloyede said out of the registered candidates, 1,904,109 sat for the examination while 80,810 were absent.
The examination body, on Wednesday, May 1, said the 2024 UTME results are yet to be available on its website and in any paper format.
