The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has said it would further screen 27,105 results of candidates who wrote the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
This was disclosed on Monday in the weekly bulletin from the Office of the Registrar.
JAMB noted that while 1,761,338 candidates registered for the exercise, only 1,707,626 sat for the exercise and the results of 1,671,203 candidates have so far been released.
However, about 69 results are been withheld and 27,105 others were undergoing further screening.
Also, a total of 1,783 candidates who experienced biometric challenges were being investigated, to ascertain their claims.
In a similar development, JAMB said that it conducted the 2022 UTME for foreign candidates on Saturday.
The board said the exercise took place in five out of its nine foreign centres and was a complete success.
JAMB said the centres where the examination were held include: Accra, Ghana; Johannesburg, South Africa; Buea, Cameroun, Abidjan, Cote d’ Ivoire and Cotonou, Benin Republic.
However, it said, the 2022 Foreign UTME will take place in Berlin, Germany; London, UK, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and New York, the United States of America in due course.
It further explained that the exercise was part of the board’s largess, towards providing succour to foreign candidates who signaled interest to attend Nigerian tertiary institutions in its academic year.
