The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the withholding of results for 39,834 candidates from the recently concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), citing examination irregularities.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made the announcement on Friday, May 9, during the official release of the 2025 UTME results. He explained that the withheld results are under investigation due to various forms of misconduct during the exam.
Oloyede also revealed that 41,000 underage candidates registered for the UTME, with 467 scoring above the minimum cut-off mark. However, 50 of those underage candidates were found to have engaged in cheating.
He further disclosed that 80 suspects across the country are currently being interrogated for alleged involvement in exam fraud.
