The Registrar of JAMB, Professor Dibu Ojerinde who announced the release of the result in Abuja yesterday, said the decision to withhold the results was based on allegation of extortion by those he described as greedy supervisors and proprietors in 52 centres across the federation.
"In the 2012 UTME, we had some disturbing news of extortion of innocent candidates by greedy proprietors, supervisors and invigilators. We assure the public that all these persons would be brought to book, just as I make bold to say that JAMB will not spare any culpable persons."
He said results were withheld in 24 centres in Rivers State, followed by Lagos with 11, Imo 6, Benue 3, Cross River 2, Delta 2 and Nasarawa 1.
The JAMB registrar said the board was currently investigating the issue and that the results would either be released or canceled within the next two weeks "depending on the outcome of its findings."
A breakdown of the results showed that out of 1,384,644 results released, only about 72,243 scored above 250 with three candidates scoring above 300, while 336,330 candidates had less than 169.
Similarly Ninety per cent of candidates who sat for the 2011 November/December Senior School Certificate Examinations of the National Examination Council, NECO, failed the examination.
This disclosure was made by the Registrar, Prof. Promise Okpala, while announcing the release of the NECO results at a press briefing in Minna on Wednesday.
According to him, only 10 per cent out of the 110,724 candidates that sat for the examinations scored credit and above in the core subjects including English Language and Mathematics.
Credit passes in these two subjects are required for university admission in the country.
What is happening to Education in Nigeria? What could possibly be the cause of this decay in the Educational sector?
