JAMB registrar breaks down in tears as he admits errors in 2025 UTME, apologises to affected students


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has admitted that there were errors during the conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) that affected the performance of many candidates.


JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, made this known while speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, May 14.  Oloyede who fought back tears while speaking, disclosed that the board has rescheduled fresh UTME for 379,997 candidates in the five States of the South-East and Lagos State.


“What should have been a moment of joy has been marred by one or two errors. Once again, I apologise and I assure you that this incident represents a significant setback. We remain committed to emerging stronger in our core values of transparency, fairness and equity. It is our culture to admit error because we know that despite the best of our efforts, we are humans. We are not perfect.  Prof. Oloyede admitted.


Oloyede said the affected candidates will start getting text messages from the Board starting from Thursday, May 15, 2025.


“The affected candidates will start getting text messages for reschedule starting from tomorrow (Thursday). I apologise, I take full responsibility,” the JAMB Registrar stated.


He however did not clarify on the errors that were made.


On May 5, the examination board released results of the examination held across the country this year. According to the results released, more than 1.5 million out of 1.9 million candidates, representing about 79 per cent scored below 200. A breakdown of the results further revealed that the total number of candidates who scored 300 and above is 12,414, representing less than one per cent.


The outcome raised concern in the country, with the candidates and families taking to social media to call on JAMB to review the results. ome went as far as filing lawsuits against the examination board.
