It was also gathered that the withheld results of the under-aged candidates (except where litigation is involved) who performed below the established standards has been released. However, such result does not however qualify them for admission, as they had previously signed an undertaking during the registration process acknowledging that only those who meet the prescribed standards would be considered for under-aged special admission.
All results are now released except those of candidates who committed examination infractions and those slated for mop-up examinations. It was gathered that the recent discoveries particularly by the security agencies have necessitated the withdrawal of some of the results of implicated candidates across the country whose results have been previously released. Candidates with earlier released results need not recheck as candidates affected by the withdrawal are being notified through text messages on their registered lines, their profiles and emails.
It should be emphasized that the charges for shortcode of 55019/66019 (text messages) does not generate revenue as being ignorantly speculated. The shortcode approach is to protect the critical data of the candidates and to curtail their cybercafé-extortion during their desperate check for results. JAMB has no reason to make money from such a service rather, it subsidizes the shortcode services and text messages to candidates.
