Franklin, who made University of Lagos his first choice, scored 347 and may not be admitted because of his age.
Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board , disclosed this at a news conference to announce the release of the results in Abuja on Saturday.
“361,718 candidates scored between 180 and 199 as against 325,152 in 2018, while 494,484 scored between 160 and 179 as against 455,898 last year. “No doubt, examination malpractice is a cankerworm that has eaten deeply not only into Nigeria but also the rest of the world, especially the developed countries such as the USA and U.K.
“An example is Anambra state where two centres registered a large number of impersonating candidates. In such cases, the results of the candidates have been cancelled and the CBT centres delisted. “Another example was in Borno State where in Nassara Computer Academy, Maiduguri, 233 candidates had one particular finger included in each of their biometric registration.
