The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has admitted errors in the results of some candidates who sat the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).
On Tuesday, the board commenced the review of the candidates’ results with some stakeholders after widespread complaints of low scores by candidates who have a track record of better performance.
Speaking on the outcome of the review on Wednesday, JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, a professor, apologised to the candidates and admitted some errors.
Mr Oloyede said the board has decided that all candidates affected in 157 out of 882 centres will be contacted to retake their examinations starting Friday, 16 May.
“So, I appeal to the candidates and those affected by the error of our system to accept this explanation as the truth of the matter without embellishment, Please. I apologise and take full responsibility, not just in words,” he said.
“We have decided that all the candidates affected in the 157 centres out of 882 centres will be contacted to retake their examinations starting Friday, May 16, 2025.”
