JAMB releases 2026 UTME results
Fabian Benjamin, JAMB's spokesperson, had earlier announced, on his X page, the release of the 2026 UTME results for candidates who sat for the exam on the first day.
He wrote on X:
"JAMB Releases Results of 632,788 Candidates from Day One of the 2026 UTME
"The results of candidates who sat the 2026 UTME on Thursday, 16 April 2026, have been released and are now available for viewing.
"To check their results, candidates should send UTMERESULT via SMS to 55019 or 66019, using the same phone number (SIM) used during registration. At this stage, candidates may view their results only; printing is not yet available.
"Candidates are strongly cautioned against manipulating the SMS received from the official platform (55019/66019) to fabricate or alter scores with the intent to mislead others, including parents. Such actions constitute a serious criminal offence.
"The Board treats such misconduct with the utmost gravity. Currently, two candidates and one parent are in custody for engaging in result falsification using AI and other electronic means. Any candidate found culpable will face the full consequences of the law.
"The examination is ongoing, and results will continue to be released as they become available."
