Some 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations candidates have appealed to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to release their results.
The candidates spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Bwari.
The 2019 UTME commenced on April 11 to April 18 with 1.8 million registered candidates.
The Board has repeatedly said that it would take its time to screen the results because of the several infractions discovered during the exercise.
Madueke John, a candidate, said that the long wait for the results has held some of the candidates back, while also causing a lot of tension.
“With everything we are hearing from JAMB and other media reports we are getting, we are tense.
“I know I did not do anything that will incriminate me during the exams, but the entire process this time around has really changed.
“If JAMB, while screening, discovers those who are innocent, why don’t they release those ones and continue screening others, seriously, this is taking forever.
“I really don’t know what to expect again, but please, they should just focus on this year’s exercise and release at least parts of the results to reduce the tension.”
Another candidate, Henrietta Adams, said the Board was, undoubtedly, doing what it deemed best for the country.
She, however, added that it would also do a lot of good if some of the results are released.
Adam added that the long wait has caused some of the candidates to be unsure of what might happen at the end of the day.
