The Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, said the examination body is yet to release results due to internal appraisal. He said the body would not release results until it receives reports of examination malpractices, adding that only 60 per cent of results came in after the examinations.

Oloyede said, “We have no reason not to release the results but we are also doing some internal appraisal. One, we do not want this situation where you release results and you start to withdraw some; so, we have asked people to submit reports, particularly, of malpractices.

“And for the first day after the result was ready, we now scrutinised and saw that about 40 per cent of the report were not in. So, why release 60 per cent and create confusion? We have insisted that this year, we will not release results until we have all the reports of examination malpractices. The results are ready but we believe we need to have all the reports; we have about 70 per cent of reports now updated but we want 100 per cent.

Over 1.7 million candidates registered for the 2022 exercise. Oloyede also said that it had no significant concerns as the exercise progressed. It, however, reiterated its zero tolerance for examination infractions and urged candidates to conduct themselves properly, while following its rules.

MEANWHILE, some operators of CBT centres have appealed to government for support in terms of funding, even as they described the conduct of the examination as generally successful.
