Just forty-eight hours ahead of the Policy Meeting on Admissions, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made public the results of the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted on Saturday, 28 June 2025.
In a statement issued on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, he disclosed that of the 96,838 candidates scheduled for the mop-up exercise, results have been released for 11,161 who were in attendance.
“Candidates who are not able to access their result have been found not to have fully complied with the instruction to send ‘UTMERESULT’ (as one-word text) to 55019/66019 from the same phone number (SIM) with which they registered for the UTME,” the statement said.
The examination board also revealed that with support from the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), law enforcement agents had successfully arrested a five-member syndicate involved in creating forged JAMB admission letters for candidates in exchange for payment.
“The five arrested ringleaders confessed to producing the fake admission letters and are currently being prosecuted at the FHC, Abuja in the case between Inspector General of Police vs. Effa Leonard and four (4) others.
“Following the confession from the syndicate, a total of 17,417 candidates were flagged as beneficiaries,” the statement added.
The Guardian reports that JAMB will announce the 2025 admission cut-off marks for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and monotechnics nationwide on Tuesday, 8 July.
