The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has reportedly invited an education technology expert and the Chief Executive Officer of Educare, Alex Onyia to investigate the 2025 UTME.
The invitation followed widespread complaints of technical glitches and incomplete questions that reportedly marred the exam.
The examination body had last week announced that over 1.5 million out of the 1.9 million that sat the 2025 UTME scored below 200 out of the total 400 marks.
The announcement raised concern across the country, with stakeholders calling for a thorough investigation.
While reacting to the report of mass failure, Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa stated that the results showed effective anti-malpractice efforts by JAMB.
However, the minister’s comment didn’t go down well with some Nigerians, as they insisted that the outcome of the exam must be investigated.
Meanwhile, the expert invited by JAMB has urged affected candidates to remain calm, assuring them that the outcome of the investigation would be positive.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Alex Onyia disclosed that he has been formally invited by the board to transparently conduct a thorough review of the exam.
