"There were errors": JAMB finally admits

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has eventually admitted to errors in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Registrar of the Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, 14th May 2025.

It could be recalled that most parents and entities had threatened to sue the examination body, saying their wards' performances were manipulated. This came after reports of high level of poor results in the recently concluded UTME.

“What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors,” Oloyede admitted.

According to him, “we set all machineries in order, regardless, there were still errors.”

This follows JAMB announcement that it had received an unusually high number of complaints regarding discrepancies in candidates’ scores.

The JAMB boss added that 379,997 candidates in the five states of the South East and Lagos would be rescheduled for another UTME.

The boss, who took responsibility of what he described as "sabotage", stated that the affected candidates would start receiving messages from JAMB starting from Thursday, 15th May 2025.
