JAMB RESCHEDULES UTME FOR S’EAST, LAGOS CANDIDATES -SEE MORE

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has admitted significant errors in its conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination, which led to a mass failure by candidates across the federation. In a speech titled, ‘Man Proposes, God Disposes’, during his media briefing in Abuja, the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, said that technical errors affected some candidates’ scores in the 2025 UTME results, which have elicited widespread complaints. Oloyede stated that three hundred and seventy-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven candidates in the five states of the South East and Lagos will be rescheduled for another UTME. According to him, two hundred and six thousand, six hundred and ten candidates in 65 centres in Lagos and 92 centres in Owerri zone comprising one hundred and seventy-three thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven candidates in the five states of the South East were affected. In the results released earlier, JAMB had reported that over 1.5 million candidates out of the 1.9 million who sat the UTME scored below 200 out of 400 marks, thereby raising serious concerns about academic decline across the education sector.
