JAMB commenced the conduct of the UTME 2025 nationwide on April 24. The examination ended on Monday, May 5.

Millions of Nigerian youths who successfully registered for the UTME partook in the examination in over 784 computer-based test (CBT) centres across all 36 Nigerian states and the federal capital territory (FCT).

In a statement on Monday, May 5, JAMB disclosed that out of the 1,955,059 candidates who took part in the annual exam, only 420,415 surpassed the 200 mark.

This raised concerns among Nigerians as the UTME 2025 results come amid increasing scrutiny of Nigeria’s education system and underscore the need for ongoing reforms to improve student preparedness and institutional accountability.

An education and career advocate, Dipo Awojide, attributed the decline in performance to lifestyle choices and poor attitudes toward education. Awojide further blamed the influence of older youth who preach the “school na scam” ideology.

Obi blasts JAMB for alleged early exams

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, criticised JAMB.

Obi said the agency allegedly set the UTME 2025 for teenagers as early as 6 am while 'transporting them across far-flung locations'.

According to the presidential hopeful, this alleged act by the educational board was 'reckless' and he called for action to be taken.
