JAMB UTME glitch: Expert calls for prosecution of service providers
Meanwhile, the board chairman of MIMS Educational Resources Limited, Prince Adesegun Ogungbayi, has called for the prosecution of service providers responsible for JAMB's error.
In an interview with Legit.ng, Ogungbayi expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the UTME 2025.
He said:
"The recent 2025 UTME debacle has highlighted the need for accountability among service providers. Given JAMB's admission of error and alleged identification of culpable service providers, I strongly advocate for the prosecution of those responsible, particularly in Lagos and the south-east zones. Their failure to update delivery servers after system patches compromised the examination process, causing trauma and setbacks for students.
"Prosecuting these service providers would serve as a deterrent, ensuring such incidents don't reoccur.

Ogungbayi added:
"Some students have even taken their lives due to the stress and uncertainty caused by these failures. We must prioritise accountability and protect the futures of our children.
"I urge JAMB and relevant authorities to take decisive action against these service providers. Prosecution would demonstrate a commitment to transparency and fairness. Let's hold service providers accountable for their actions. Prosecution would send a strong message that negligence won't be tolerated."
