Forty-eight hours to the Policy Meeting on Admissions, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the results of the mop-up Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination held on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

In a statement on Sunday by JAMB Spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, he revealed that out of the 96,838 candidates scheduled for the mop-up exercise, the results of 11,161 who were present have been released.

“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 body disclosed that, with the assistance of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), security agencies successfully apprehended a five-man syndicate engaged in the fabrication of JAMB admission letters for interested candidates in exchange for a fee.

“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 set the 2025 admission benchmarks for universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and monotechnics in the country on Tuesday, July 8.
