Nigeria: My First Reaction Was to Resign After 2025 UTME Error
- Professor Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar of JAMB, disclosed on May 14, 2025, a major technical error affected the 2025 UTME results in Lagos and the South-East.
- The problem arose from a defective server update by a technical provider, which prevented the candidates' answers from being transmitted throughout the first three days of the exam, leading to widespread public dissatisfaction.
- JAMB acknowledged a systemic error that affected the exam outcomes of nearly 380,000 candidates from 157 examination centres spanning five states, leading the board to schedule a resit starting May 16, 2025.
- House committee chairman Oboku Oforji emphasized that the issue was caused by avoidable mistakes made by JAMB and its partners, rejecting claims of a technical glitch and advocating for an independent investigation.
- The incident raised concerns about examination credibility, drove calls for reforms, and led Oloyede to apologise publicly while briefly contemplating resignation to avoid abandoning affected students.
