Academics react to 2025 UTME performance

The Congress of University Academics (CONUA) said the low performance in this year's UTME is a wake-up call on the condition of education in the country.

Speaking with The Sun, the head of the congress, Niyi Sunmonu, said:

“The data presents to all of us, a sobering reflection of the state of our nation’s basic and secondary education system."

He spoke further:

“This result kills the morale of those of us who believe that working hard for a better education outcome is not doing the right thing. It demoralises to say the least.”

Girl who went to write JAMB goes missing

"It’s almost 24 hours we haven’t heard from my sister, she was going to Epe from Ajah around 1pm yesterday (Thursday) for her JAMB exam today…. The last message she sent her other sister was that “I’m scared I think I entered wrong car my eyes is itchy e be like I want to slip."
