Teryi’s UTME score raised questions
Teryi’s score got people talking, with some questioning the rationale behind his result being withheld, given his 190 aggregate.

JAMB gives update on withheld UTME results
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that JAMB had given a fresh update on the 64,000 withheld UTME results.
The Board, in a post shared on its website via X, clarified that its online portal is the only source for candidates to check their 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results and fresh updates.
Responding to an enquiry about “sale of ticket on JAMB website results under investigation”, JAMB urged UTME candidates to beware of a “fraudulent site”, insisting it doesn’t operate an Instagram account.
