We have many complaints from candidates who
were unable to access their results even on
JAMB Portal days after sitting for the 2016
UTME and have decided to create this thread to
address the issue.
We understand that some of you expected JAMB
to send your scores to your phone numbers and
are yet to receive such message. If you are
among this category, you are advised to visit the
official 2016 JAMB result checking portal by
clicking here www.jamb.org.ng to verify your result online.
However, if you have checked online and got a
response like "No Result Yet", just relax. There's
no need to get overly panicked.
From experience we know JAMB usually releases
some of these withheld results days after the
conclusion of the whole exams; except when
such results are linked with malpractice issues
of any kind.
So we advise candidates to keep checking the
2016 JAMB Official result checking portal .
www.jamb.org.ng/postregistrationefacility/ValidatePIN.aspx?id=9D673BEB-DF09-45D9-8D67-575FB1552225
Hopefully, your result will be made available in no
distant time.

It was learnt that some candidates who are
displeased with the conduct of the Joint
Admissions Matriculation Board, JAMB, took to
the streets of Lagos and Ilorin yesterday to
protest.
It was gathered that the protesters were carrying
placards with different inscriptions and were
demanding the resignation of the JAMB
Registrar, Prof Dibu Ojerinde.
The protesters blamed the leadership of JAMB
for their failures, adding that the electronic
devices used for the examination malfunctioned.

the board's Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) in a statement has appealed to the
public to remain calm and understanding
following the planned protest by individuals under
the aegis of education consultants.
The statement made available by the JAMB's
public relations officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin
asked the aggrieved candidates to channel their
complaints to the public complaints unit of the
board or visit JAMB offices nationwide instead of
allowing themselves to be used in pursuit of
selfish interests.
Part of the statement reads, "We are not perfect
as an organisation but we are working hard to
ensure that Nigerian education is better than it
is. We have taken the risk to do the unthinkable
so as to change the paradigm.
"We will continue to call on all Nigerians to give
us the benefit of the doubt and with their
collective support we will give them one of the
best CBTs globally."
The board added that the worst CBT is far better
than the best paper and pencil test (PPT), where
candidates pouring acid on invigilators, bolting
with questions papers and engaging in all forms
of gross examination malpractices.

The National Universities Commission has
disclosed that medical students will henceforth
spend a minimum of 10 to 11 years in school.
This was made known by the Executive
Secretary of the Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie
in a lecture delivered at the maiden matriculation
and inauguration of the University of Medical
Science, Ondo, Ondo State.
Prof. Julius Okojie who was represented by the
Deputy Executive Secretary of the commission,
Prof. Chiedu Mafiana, in a lecture titled
'Development of Medical Education : Prospects
and Challenges', stated that this development
was imperative in order to enable the students
mature psychologically for the profession.
According to him, the 2015 document for the
training of medical students made provision for
students to spend the first four years in studying
basic sciences in university after which they
would proceed to the medical school to spend
another seven years.
