The unsual delay has created room for anxiety and suspicion among some Nigerians. Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB spokesman, told The Sun on Saturday, that they appreciate the anxiety and concerns of candidates. He, however, requested that JAMB be allowed to do the necessary things before releasing the result.

Akintola Prof. Ishaq Akintola, Director, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged Muslims to use the holy month of Ramadan to supplicate for the freedom of Leah Sharibu and the remaining Chibok  girls still in the hands of Boko Haram insurgents.
