The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said on Wednesday that it had released 1,606,901 results out of the 1,718,425 that registered in the just concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). JAMB Denies Releasing Cut-Off Marks For 2017 UTME Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, the JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said the results were released within 24 hours of the examination, adding that the remaining 80,889 candidates results would be released soon.

He said: “Six weeks into the registration, we harvested in preparation for the exam about 1.7 million registrations. “But so far, we have released the results of 1,606,901 candidates leaving us with a balance of 80,889. “Out of this 80,889, we have deliberately withheld 76,925 results for further investigation

Finance: Drugmaker Mylan accused of overcharging the US government by about $1.27 billion for EpiPens

Image
Mylan has been in hot water for the price of its blockbuster EpiPen drug before, and it looks like things may get worse. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) has calculated that the company may have overcharged the government by about $1.27 billion for EpiPens, a life saving anti-allergy medicine. If Grassley and HHS are correct, that could mean a massive fine for Mylan — far more than the company expected. Last year, Mylan came under fire for jacking up the price of two EpiPen injectors from $100 to $608 when it bought the drug in 2007. As a result, the company's CEO, Heather Bresch, who is also the daughter of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin (D), was called to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress. After that, in October, Mylan was accused of overcharging the government for EpiPen. It ultimately announced that it had agreed to a $465 million settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over that matter. Under the terms

The government had in its Economic Recovery and Growth Plan disclosed that it would reduce its stakes in joint venture oil assets, refineries and other downstream subsidiaries such as pipelines and depots. Ajumogobia, who was a guest speaker at the Petroleum Club Members’ Evening, noted that a debate had emerged as to whether the government should divest its interests in some oil assets.

Five social media mistakes that can cost you a job

With  Ozioma Ubabukoh, 07053937947 oubabukoh@punchng.com Your social media posts may win over friends and get you few hundred or thousand likes, shares or retweets, however they can also cost you a job. Here are five social media mistakes most likely to cost you a job: You complain about work When hiring managers sometimes browse through social media profiles of candidates, imagine what their impression of you will be when they see job complaint posts on your wall.

You’re vulgar or offensive If you (with a personal account that you can be identified with) are offensive or vulgar enough on social media to warrant mentions or retweets, it
