Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says it has released the results of 1,502,978 candidates who sat for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The board disclosed this in a statement signed by its Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the board released the results after viewing all CCTV footage during the conduct of the examination and also after considering reports from its supervisors who monitored the exercise.

The board stated that a total of 1,652,825 candidates registered for the 2018 examination, adding that the results of 112,331 candidates were yet to be released.

It noted that “out of the number yet to be released, 350 are results of blind candidates which would be released soon, while 111,981 results were being withheld for further screening.”

The board said that unlike the 2017 exercise, release of results would not be immediate,
adding that JAMB would scrutinise candidates’ results before releasing them to avoid multiple cancellations later.

Reveal the running costs for Buhari, Osinbajo, ministers, Okupe dares Sagay

Former presidential spokesman, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has challenged the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay, to carry out his threat to reveal details of the running costs of the principal officers of the National Assembly.

He, however, added that Sagay should also include that of President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, ministers, special advisers to the President, and other top government functionaries, including himself.

Okupe, in a statement on Tuesday, also said failure by Sagay to give correct figures of the running costs of all top members of the Buhari government and the leadership of the federal parliament within 24 hours will affect his credibility.

Okupe said, “I find the threat by Professor Sagay on allowances and running costs of the leadership of the National Assembly very interesting. It will aid our fight for transparency in public affairs.

“However, he should not be selective. For us to take him seriously, he should include details of the running cost of the office of the President, Vice President, mnisters, special advisers, heads of government agencies, parastatals and even himself. Afterall, all the salaries, allowances and running cost come from the same public coffers.”

Okupe also challenged Sagay to disclose how much he is paid, and how much he spends on his numerous trips within and outside the country from funds donated by international agencies.

He said, “For Prof. Sagay to say that the country would explode if he gives out certain figures is inciting, considering the current volatile and tensed situation in the country.

“It will also be interesting if Sagay can tell Nigerians the achievements of his committee in the last 30 months that it has been spending government money.

“With the Corruption Perception Index rating recently released by Transparency International, it does appear that Sagay’s committee has neither helped Nigeria nor the President who set up his committee and funded it with tax- payers’ money.

“Sagay should sit down with members of his committee and develop position papers and policies that will actually help the anti-corruption war and make it more effective.”

Swedish model with 40-inch legs.

For one Swedish Instagram model, having long legs — which have since propelled her modeling career — were once the cause of bullying.

Ia Ostergren is a mom of two whose legs measure an astounding 40 inches. While she has learned to embrace her limbs, it hasn’t always been easy.

Teased about her gangly physique, Ostergren spent her teens and early 20s depressed about her body type. In 2013, she decided to take up sports, and it was then that she started to love her body, regardless of what others had to say.

Ostergren is 5′10″, which is not particularly tall for a model, though her 40-inch inseam makes her stand out. The sporty model is particularly popular in Russia — a fact she uses to her advantage, regularly posting photo captions in Russian.

Ostergren, who is married to a Swedish bodybuilder, says she works on her physique regularly, going to the gym and eating nearly five pounds of meat a week to maintain her muscle.
