JAMB earns praise for the Registrar’s assumption of responsibility: “As Registrar of JAMB, I hold myself personally responsible… and I unreservedly apologise for it.”
The 2025 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) results recently released by JAMB indicated that over 1.5 million out of 1.9 million candidates who sat for the exam scored below 200.
