In a news conference in Enugu on Wednesday, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede disclosed that he had no reason to withhold the results of this year UTME and promised that the results will be released on June 23rd.
Oloyede who blamed the delay on his absence from the headquarters said he do not want to approve the release while on field and promised to do that when he gets to Abuja today.
The registrar said his team was at the Southeast to access what was going on with the conduct of the examinations as well as to visit new University in Ebonyi.
JAMB registered 1,415,501 candidates in the UTME 2021 and 1,122, 095 had taken the examinations so far while 66,111 had yet to take.
While giving report about the centres, Oloyede said there are 650 examination centres across the country, out of which, 30 centres have been delisted for performing below standard.
“53 centres are currently under watch while 600 of them performed excellently.
“It is our wish and desire that the board will continue to ensure that such non performing centres with ulterior motive will not be allowed to participate in the exercise,” he said.
