UTME Result: Teacher Rejects Scores Sent To Her By JAMB, Writes Long Letter To Examination Body

• A lady has written an open letter to the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to lay her complaints
• According to the letter, which she published on Facebook, she was sure that the result sent to her did not belong to her
• The lady is disputing the result on the grounds that she scored too low compared to her performance in 2024

A lady has asked the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to review her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) result.

The lady took to Facebook to publish an open letter she wrote to the examination body to demand a review of her performance.

According to Ayomide Abdulamid, she was sure that the result sent to her did not belong to her.

She insisted that she knows what she wrote in the UTME and that the score failed to reflect her actual preparation and performance.

Ayomide, who is a phonics teacher and teacher trainer, said she scored 142, which is a far cry from the 220 she scored in 2024 when she did not even prepare very well.

She stated:

"Dear Jamb official my JAMB result dropped yesterday morning after trying several times on Friday due to the Airtel network. I am very sure of all the subjects I wrote, because I prepared harder for this Utme. I am sure that those are not my scores. I can't accept this result. In my last exam, that I didn't even prepare harder as this year, I had 220 and above. Whereas, this year, I prepared harder and better. I read my syllabus and focus solely on the preparation of this exam. Please explain why I will have the before score and then 142 now?"

Ayomide said she checked the result up to four times to see if it would change, but it remained the same.

Her words:

"I've checked more than four times and still receiving same score. How could I get this after too much effort and sleepless night? Am sending this to show the disapproval of the result being sent continuously because I'm very sure it's not mine. Give me my original JAMB result. That score is not my Jamb result. This is not fair. Please, kindly REVIEW IT!"

Ayomide teaches phonics, writing and reading

In her Facebook account, Ayomide identified herself as a teacher trainer, phonics teacher and phonics instructor.

A flyer on her Facebook read:

"I help learners gain mastery and confidence in their literacy skills (reading, spelling, and writing) using my strong command of Jolly Phonics."

Yet, Ayomide scored 38 in English language and 33 in literature, according to the result she posted. This did not sit well with her as she believes that it did not reflect her actual scores.

What JAMB said about results complaints

On Monday, May 12, the exam body said it has engaged external help to find out if there were indeed glitches with its system.

"We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues. To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions. If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, we will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, as we do in the case of the examinations themselves."

Lady rejects her brother's UTME result

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian lady said her family is rejecting her brother's UTME result because it does not reflect his academic abilities.

The lady said her brother has maintained a consistent record of academic excellence, only for him to score 169 in the 2025 UTME.

She posted a WAEC result, which shows that the boy scored A1 in 6 subjects and also scored 278 in the 2024 UTME.

Joseph Omotayo, the HoD of the Human Interest Desk, contributed to this report, adding JAMB's reactions to results complaints.
