The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has admitted to errors in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Ishaq Oloyede, registrar of the board, disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday. “I apologise for the trauma caused the candidates,” Oloyede said while betraying emotions.
“What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors,” Oloyede said.
According to him, “We set all machineries in order, regardless, there were still errors.”
This is sequel to JAMB admission that it had received an unusually high number of complaints regarding discrepancies in candidates’ scores.
Recall that out of 1.9 million candidates who sat the UTME, over 1.5 million reportedly scored below 200 out of the maximum 400 marks.
The registrar also broke down in tears following the errors emanating from the exam.
