In response to the ongoing complaints surrounding the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it is thoroughly investigating the issues to identify and resolve any potential technical glitches. Acknowledging what it described as “a significant volume of unusual complaints” following the release of the 2025 UTME results last Friday, JAMB stated that it has enlisted the support of various experts—including members of the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners (who are heads of tertiary institutions), the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement specialists, and vice chancellors from several universities—to aid in the review process.
In a press statement issued on Monday, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, voiced concern over the atypical complaints emerging from certain states across the country.
The terse release reads in part:” “In response, the Board is fast-forwarding its annual system review—a comprehensive post-mortem of the examination process that is conducted each year months after the exercise.
“The Board’s annual review encompasses three key stages: registration, examination, and result release.
“During the examination phase, JAMB ensures that every candidate is afforded the opportunity to sit for the test. Should any technical issues arise, the Board reschedules the examination for affected candidates without hesitation.
“We are particularly concerned about the unusual complaints originating from a few states within the Federation. We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues.
“To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions; the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa; measurement experts; and vice chancellors from various institutions.
“If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, we will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, as we do in the case of the examinations themselves.”
