The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of 4,536 candidates earlier withheld by the board.
The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made this disclosure in a statement last week Friday in Lagos.
He stated that the release became necessary following facial match recognition carried out by specialised software and Information Technology (IT) experts.
“Following the consideration of the Committee on the 4,760 candidates whose results were
withheld due to multiple facial matches with different names during the 2019 Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) registration exercise, the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of 4,536 absolved of complication.
“The release became necessary following facial match recognition carried out by specialised
software and IT experts,” the statement said.
