Dad laments over daughter's UTME score

According to the dad identified as @chukwumaPi27115 on X, his daughter had scored an aggregate of 297 in the 2024 examination but received a lower score of 155 this year.

The father, a retired teacher, revealed that he had personally prepared his daughter for the examination and was shocked by the difference in her scores.

He attributed the difference to an alleged technical error on the part of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

His post revealed his daughter's scores in the 2025 examination which included 39 in English, 38 in Mathematics, 41 in Physics, and 37 in Chemistry, leading to an aggregate score of 155.

He challenged the examination board to investigate the matter and provide an explanation for the drastic decline in his daughter's performance.

The father further expressed his disappointment, stating that he had invested considerable time and effort into his daughter's education.

As a retired teacher, he felt that his daughter's score was not a true reflection of her abilities.

In his words:

"Please there is serious technical error with jamb this year. As a retired teacher, the result jamb sent to my daughter this morning is not her result. This devastating. Hard work rewarded this way? Compare her last year 2025. I challenge jamb to own up on their error. if jamb will set this examination 1000times, my daughter whom I taught as a teacher (has not failed before and cannot score 155 in jamb.) Let jamb explain now. The possibility of falling from 297 to 155.

"All my life as a teacher I have spent my life caring for other people's children. I personally prepared my daughter for this exam, when she is awake I'm also awake. My family is mourning, my daughter cannot be controlled. 297 in 2024 to 155 in 2025? It is your responsibility to begin to explain to Nigerians, how some candidates who scored 290,300 + are now scoring below 150. You logged of students, gave some 55 questions instead of 60 in English and you want this result to stand? Compare this 2."

"The same thing with my friend. She had 290 last year and then they are showing her 160. There must have been an issue somewhere. She also complained of having 55 questions in English instead of the normal 60."

Dare said:

"Brilliant students with strong academic records got unusually low UTME scores. We urge JAMB to investigate possible technical issues. Fairness and transparency are crucial."

Afolabi Kemisola added:

"My daughter prepared for this jamb for one and half years with sleepless nights. She only sleeps for less than 4 hours every night. She scored 163. She is an outstanding student, this can never be her result."
