The examination body, through its registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had stated that, among other reasons, the board considers the UTME as “only a ranking examination,” hence, its decision not to disclose the names of the highest-scoring candidates in the just-concluded UTME.
Also, the board urged Nigerians to be wary of any candidate parading printed result slips as currently, the result is not in any paper format.
