Many students believed to have taken part in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) yesterday converged on the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Kano on motorcycles around noon and carried placards and green leaves to show their anger.
The spokesman of the Haruna Maidabam described the withholding of results as an attempt to deny them an opportunity to further their education.
He said as many as 10,000 candidates who took part in the examination are yet to get their results.
Maidabam said when the results were released last week, they went to the zonal office of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Kano (JAMB) to complain but were directed to go and repeat the thumb printing for verification.
“There is no reason for any verification of thumb- print,” he reportedly said.
The JAMB Zonal Coordinator, Hajiya Karimatu Abubakar, spoke with the press admitting there were some glitches during the conduct of the examinations.
She assured that the issues will be resolved.
