The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that about 173,387 candidates in the just concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would retake the examination.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
This followed widespread complaints of technical glitches, unusually low scores, and alleged irregularities in the just-concluded UTME.
Prof. Oloyede, who wept profusely, intermittently wiping his face with a handkerchief, said he took full responsibility for the negligence of its staff, revealing that 65 centres in Lagos and 92 centres in the Owerri Zone, covering the five states in the South East, would rewrite the exam.
I appeal for a reschedule examination because of the Glitch in my system on the 26th of April and it affected my scores.
