The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has admitted to errors that impacted the performance of candidates in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The Board’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made the disclosure in an ongoing press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
“What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors,” Oloyede stated.
Meanwhile, the exam body has said it would reschedule 379,997 candidates affected by technical glitches in the five states of the South East and Lagos to retake the Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Oloyede said, “206,610 in 65 centres were affected in Lagos and 92 centres in the Owerri zone comprising 173,387 candidates in the five states of the South East were affected.”
Oloyede, who took responsibility for what he described as a “sabotage” of the 2025 UTME, said the affected candidates will start getting text messages from the Board starting Thursday.
