The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially released the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Speaking during a press briefing at JAMB headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede revealed that results of 39,834 candidates have been withheld due to suspicions of examination malpractice.
According to Oloyede, the withheld results are under review and will be investigated thoroughly. He also disclosed that over 80 individuals are currently under probe for various exam-related offences across several states, with Anambra State recording the highest number of suspects.
Oloyede reaffirmed JAMB’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination system and stressed that any candidate found guilty of cheating will be disqualified and potentially banned from future exams.
Candidates who sat for the exam can now check their results via the official JAMB portal using their registration numbers or through SMS using the short code provided by the board.
This year’s UTME saw millions of candidates across the country compete for admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions, making it one of the most anticipated academic releases of 2025.
The release of the results comes amid widespread concerns about malpractice in the Nigerian education system, and JAMB says it will continue to enforce strict compliance and monitoring.
