Lady rejects brother's UTME result

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had rejected her brother's UTME result because it didn't reflect his academic abilities.

She asked that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), review the UTME result, which she claimed did not add up.

According to the lady, her brother has maintained a consistent record of academic excellence, as he scored A1 in six subjects and B's in two others during his WAEC exam. She attached a copy of his 2024 JAMB result, which shows that he scored 278.
