The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, has disclosed that out of the 1,648,429 million candidates writing the ongoing UTME, the results of 1,048,914 have been released.

He said that in addition to the 1,048,914 results that have been released, over 30,406 results are also ready for upload before midnight today (that was May 18th).

"On the first day, we released the results of Sunday because anything you call CBT, the results are ready, but for environmental reasons, we do not release the results immediately. "That is to ensure we go through the CCTV camera to see whether there are report of malpractice and prevent the situation whereby those who do not pass become agitated at the CBT centres. "We have released the results of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we are going to release today’s result before 12 midnight. This morning, the results of 30,046 will be release.

When asked about the performances of candidates results so far, he said noted that candidates have not done badly from the results released so far.
