JAMB’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja insists that
the results would be officially released “anytime” within the week.

This, he explained was because candidates would expect the results
from the first two days of the week but might be disappointed as the
board has yet to conclude the process of the exercise.

Benjamin said, “We will not release it today.

“What we said was anytime within this week. By implication, we are
concluding the screening exercise this week and results can be released
anytime within the week.”

Benjamin urged the public to fully comprehend media reports to avoid
misconception as the board was committed to ensuring sanity in the
system.

Benjamin, earlier said that the 2019 UTME results would be ready anytime from Monday, April 29, after a rigorous process.

He had noted that the board was still screening the results but hopefully, the results would be ready soonest.

The board had earlier stated that it would only release the 2019 UTME
results after undergoing thorough screening to identify and apprehend
examination cheats.
