UTME results not available in paper format – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has urged Nigerians to be wary of any candidate parading printed result slips as, currently, the results are not in any paper format.

The body also said that, unlike last year, the results cannot be found on the Board’s website at the moment.

JAMB made this known in a statement released by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin, on Wednesday.

He stated that the information became necessary as some individuals were already circulating printed result slips on social media.

The statement read, “The Board, once again, wishes to state clearly that the only way to check the 2024 UTME result is to Send UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone used by the candidate in registering for the UTME exercise. Ensure that the SIM is not on any bundle.

“This is different from what was obtained last year; hence, the results are not and cannot be found on the Board’s website at the moment.

“Candidates are urged to follow the method specified above to obtain their results. They need not visit any cybercafe or patronise any third-party entity to check their result.

Top Musician Warns Against Peter Obi’s Arrest – Lifestyle Nigeria

Nigerian activist and musician, Charly Boy, has issued a stern warning to the government of President Bola Tinubu, cautioning against any attempts to arrest Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. Charly Boy’s warning came in response to reports of a planned arrest of Obi over his persistent calls for good governance and accountability.

In a post on X, Charly Boy declared that any such arrest or charges against Obi would be met with resistance “like never seen in the history of Nigeria before.” He emphasized that the Obidients, a term used to describe Obi’s supporters, are prepared to take a stand against any perceived injustice.

The activist’s statement has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing solidarity with Obi and condemning any attempts to silence him.

In his post, Charly Boy urged the Tinubu government to “tread with caution” and desist from any “evil plans” against Obi, warning that such actions could have far-reaching consequences for the country. He emphasized that Nigeria “will not remain the same” if Obi is arrested or harassed.
