The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has apologized to 379,997 candidates who sat for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, from S’East and Lagos and rescheduled their UTME, after admitting to serious technical errors that marred the integrity of the 2025 exercise in some centres.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, tendered the apology on Wednesday during a press conference in Abuja, following public outcry over the recently released results.
Oloyede described the disruption as a “deeply regrettable incident” that occurred in 157 centres, 65 in Lagos and 92 in the South-East, due to a botched software patch applied by one of the Board’s technical service providers.
