Nigerian doctor and fitness enthusiast, Egemba Chinonso Fidelis, popularly known as Aproko Doctor, has shared his displeasure concerning the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board's reason for the mass failure experienced.

According to JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, technical errors affected the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), impacting 379,997 candidates across 157 examination centres in Lagos and the southeast zone.

It was also stated in the tweet that the affected candidates from Lagos and the southeast states will retake the exam starting May 16.

Over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200 out of 400 marks, while only 4,756 candidates (0.24%) scored 320 and above, and 7,658 candidates (0.39%) scored between 300 and 319. Prof. Oloyede apologised for the inconvenience and assured that JAMB is working to prevent similar issues in the future

The board had tweeted:

"Man Proposes, God Disposes! It has been established that a technical glitch affected 157 centres out of the 887 centres in the 2025 UTME. This was basically responsible for the general low performance of the candidates scheduled to sit the examination in those centres."

"As such, all the affected candidates will be contacted to reprint their examination slips towards retaking their examinations starting from 16th May, 2025."
