It has been revealed that two weeks after sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, some candidates are yet to know their results.
 
These candidates have expressed worries.
 
According to Punch Metro, some of the candidates who spoke with from different parts of the country on Monday claimed to have written the examination 14 days ago and had been checking the results online without success.
 
One of the candidates, who said she sat for the examination in the Oremeji area of Lagos State, urged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to release her result.
 
The candidate, who does not want to be identified, said, “I am now worried because there was no incident on that day and my friends who sat for the same examination already have their results. I have been checking since Thursday last week and what comes out is, ‘You do not have any result yet’. I am worried because no school will offer me admission without my UTME score.’’
 
Also, a candidate, who sat for the examination at the Kemade Highflyers Academy, Ile-Ife, Osun State, said  it had been a traumatic experience for her having to wait when many others had seen their results.
 
“This is actually my second time of attempting the UTME. I was 15 years old last year and my score was 220, but I could not gain admission because of my age. I am having my pre-degree programme right now at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and I need this result for admission. I am frustrated and I want to appeal to JAMB to release my result,’’ she said.
 
Similarly, another candidate who sat for the examination in Esa Oke, Osun State, said it was unfair for his result to be withheld by JAMB.
 
He said, “I thought I was the only one affected until I saw some of my friends in town complaining about the same thing. I don’t know why the result has not been released and JAMB is saying that all results have been released. They should just tell us what is going on.”
 
However, the Registrar, JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, in a text message to our correspondent, hinted that there might be more to the unreleased results.
 
“ After investigation, we shall release (results) for the innocent and punish the guilty,’’ he said.

Former James Bond Actor Roger Moore Dies at 89 Actor Roger Moore on the set of “Live And Let Die”. (Photo by Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images) It is with a heavy heart that we must report that actor Sir Roger Moore has died at the age of 89. His family made the announcement, revealing that the actor passed away today in Switzerland after a short battle with cancer. “The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone,” they wrote in a statement. “We know our own love and admiration will be magnified many times, across the world, by people who knew him for his films, his television shows and his passionate work for  UNICEF  which he considered to be his greatest achievement.’ “The affection out father felt whenever he walked on to a stage or in front of a camera buoyed him hugely and kept him busy working into his 90th year, through to his last appearing in November 2016 on stage at London’s Roya...

OPEN LETTER TO NIGERIANS WHY BUHARI SHOULD NOT BE RE-ELECTED In exercise of my Constitutional Right to Freedom of Expression, in a democratic system, as guaranteed under Section 39 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), I write this article without prejudice. So many Nigerians, prominent and otherwise, have expressed their deep concerns about the state of affairs of Nigeria under the watch of President Mohammadu Buhari.  But he seems to be unperturbed about their concerns and the failing Nigeria state he presides over. While I refrain from the alleged leadership incompetence of Mr President as opined by so many Nigerians, including past leaders, I will restrict myself to the direct impact of Buhari’s administration on Nigerians and Nigeria. If nation building is a collective effort, this is my own way of contributing to the course of nation building. If the President choose vendetta on this, it confirms his narrow heartedness and if he a...
