ASUU To Sue JAMB Over UTME Mass Failure

ASUU To Sue JAMB Over UTME Mass Failure
FacebookTwitterWhatsapp

The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) branch of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), has threatened to sue the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board over the massive failure recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The chairman of ASUU-UNN, Comrade Óyibo Eze, made the disclosure while briefing journalists in Nsukka, Enugu State, on Wednesday.

Oyibo said the massive failure, which mostly affected candidates from the South-East, was a deliberate attempt by JAMB to stop children from the zone from getting admission into higher institutions.

“My office has been inundated with protests, calls, and visits by parents and the general public on this deliberate massive failure in the 2025 JAMB examination

“ASUU will challenge this result in the High Court if JAMB fails to review the result and give candidates their merited scores.

“JAMB knows that children from the East must score higher before they can get admission, whereas their counterparts in some parts of the country will use a 120 JAMB score to get admission to read medicine in universities in their area.

“In the JAMB recently released result, out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 examination, over 1.5 million candidates scored less than 200, and the majority of these are from the South East and Lagos State where many Igbos reside,” he said.

He called on governors from the South-East States to rise up and challenge what he called injustice targeted towards preventing children from the zone from gaining admission into higher institutions in the country.

“The governors in the zone should not sit and watch JAMB toy with the academic future of our children.

”I am not against the board punishing those found guilty of exam malpractice but JAMB should not, because of these few candidates, fail the whole candidates in an exam centre,” he said.

The ASUU boss said that it was unbelievable and unacceptable that in the whole University Secondary School, Nsukka, no candidate that sat for the exam scored up to 200 in the UTME.

“This school has superlative students who have excelled in academics both inside and outside the school; how come all of them scored less than 200 in the exam?

“Even if JAMB discovered one or two candidates for exam malpractice, is that enough reason to fail all others who have prepared very hard for that exam,” he said.

iDeemlawful reports earlier that JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had earlier on Wednesday announced a fresh UTME for candidates from the South-East and Lagos States.
