The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that about 379,997 candidates in the just concluded 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would retake the examination.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

“It was a combination of human error and technology. We are sincerely sorry,” he said.

According to him, while 206,610 candidates in Lagos are to retake the exam, 173,387 candidates are to rewrite it in the South East states of Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Anambra.

This followed widespread complaints of technical glitches, unusually low scores, and alleged irregularities in the just-concluded UTME.

Prof. Oloyede, who wept profusely, intermittently wiping his face with a handkerchief, said he took full responsibility for the negligence of his staff, revealing that 65 centres in Lagos and 92 centres in the Owerri Zone covering the five states in the South East would rewrite the exam.
