Published

on

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed a result slip circulating online, which claimed that a Cross River State candidate scored 394 in the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Reports indicate that the result went viral on social media after it was alleged that a female candidate identified as Okon Winniefred Sampson recorded near-perfect scores across four subjects.

Reacting on Sunday, JAMB, through its spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin, stated that the result is fake and should be disregarded by the public.

He explained that the document being shared does not conform to the official UTME result format, noting that JAMB results are not issued as printable or widely distributable slips, as candidates are only meant to access them through approved platforms.

Benjamin further pointed out that the registration number on the document does not match JAMB’s official numbering system, adding that this and other inconsistencies clearly indicate that the result is fraudulent.

The board warned that the spread of such false information could mislead the public and urged Nigerians to always verify examination results through authorised channels.

It reiterated that UTME results are currently only accessible via official verification methods and not through downloadable or shareable result slips.

Akeredolu’s Wife Enters Political Race, Declares Bid For Imo East Senatorial Seat.

Published

on

Former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has declared her intention to contest the Imo East senatorial seat, dismissing questions surrounding her eligibility and reaffirming her ties to Imo State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking with journalists in Owerri on Saturday, the aspirant rejected criticisms questioning her origin and political aspiration in the state.

She said, “People ask where I come from and question my marital status, but marriage does not erase one’s heritage.

“My name is Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu. I cannot drop the Anyanwu. That name defined me long before marriage.”

Akeredolu, who is seeking the Labour Party ticket, said her decision to run is driven by the need to address what she described as a leadership gap in the senatorial district.

“What Ndi Owerri need now is quality representation, and I am ready to provide it,” she said.

“I am not coming to take from the people. This is about delivering the real dividends of democracy.”

She also criticised what she called a disconnect between lawmakers and grassroots governance, warning against lawmakers taking on responsibilities that belong to local government officials.

“Senators have no business building town halls. That is the duty of councillors and local government chairmen,” she said.

On her priorities, Akeredolu pledged to sponsor legislation focused on breast cancer awareness and improved access to treatment.

“Too many women are dying because they lack awareness or cannot afford care. Legislation can help save lives,” she noted.

She said her return to active politics was motivated by the desire to make a broader impact through public office.

“Private initiatives can only do so much, but public office allows you to shape policy and reach more people,” she added.

Akeredolu also advocated greater inclusion of women in politics, saying her decision to join the Labour Party was influenced by its leadership structure.

“I believe in women stepping forward. That is part of what attracted me to this platform,” she said.

She previously contested the Imo East senatorial seat in 2023 under the All Progressives Congress (APC) but is now seeking the seat again under the Labour Party.
