Prof. Dibu Ojerinde

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has disclosed that it has released the results of over 200,000 candidates who sat for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, which began on Saturday.

The Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, stated this on Tuesday in Abuja, urging the candidates who had already sat for the examination to check their results at the JAMB website adding that the National Communications Communication has been mandated to create additional four new CBT centres annually towards improving on the system. on his appraisal, Ojerinde emphatically scored the commission high saying that more improvement is on the way.

“Over 200,000 results have so far been released. We have always advised candidates to indicate the correct telephone number through which they could receive SMS and get their results. But some candidates continue to make the mistake of giving us the telephone number of the business centres where they registered for the examination.”

“The NCC has been mandated to give us at least four centres every year; meanwhile, the first four are fully completed. The next four would soon be built and with time, all the nooks and crannies of the country will have functional CBT centres.

"We have made improvement from that of last year; for instance, we now have calculator on the screen", Ojerinde said.
