JAMB Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede Tearfully Apologizes Over 2025 UTME Errors.
In a deeply emotional moment during a press conference held on Wednesday in Abuja, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, broke into tears as he publicly apologized for errors recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Prof. Oloyede expressed deep regret for the inconvenience and emotional distress the errors may have caused candidates, many of whom rely on UTME results to secure admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria.
“I apologise for the trauma caused the candidates,” the visibly emotional Registrar stated during the press briefing.
Earlier in his address, Oloyede had acknowledged what he described as “one or two errors” during the conduct or processing of the 2025 UTME. While details of the specific errors were not fully disclosed, his emotional apology signals the seriousness with which JAMB is treating the matter.
What This Means for UTME Candidates.
The 2025 UTME has drawn attention and concern from students, parents, and educational stakeholders, many of whom are eager for clarity and fairness in the exam process. JAMB’s leadership has now confirmed that an internal review is ongoing, and steps are being taken to correct any anomalies.
Students affected by these issues are advised to remain calm, as updates from the board are expected in the coming days.
JAMB’s Next Steps
Following the emotional admission by Prof. Oloyede, education watchers expect the examination body to release a formal statement outlining corrective measures. There may also be updates on re-evaluation or re-marking of affected scripts, changes to score releases, or specific support for impacted candidates.
