According to him, 64,624 results are under investigation for reasons of verification (2,896), procedural investigation of candidates (4,594), Centre Based Investigation (57,056) in 18 Centres as well as alleged examination misconduct (78).
He stated that 0.5percent scored 300 and above, adding that candidates can start checking their results from Tuesday, April 30 from 7am.
“Candidates are advised to use the phone numbers they used to register to text RESULT to 55019/66019. There is no need to approach any CBT centre or cybercafé to check results.
“The following are the responses to be expected hence, a candidate with a result will receive the message: ‘Dear
“Candidate X”, your result is as follows (and the details will be provided).
“Those being processed and those absent would receive “under processing” and “absent” respectively”, he said.
Oloyede said out of the 774 Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres used for the conduct of the examination, only one failed, while 150 out of over 950,000 sessions experienced hiccups.
