As controversies continue to rage over the recently released result of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, thousands of the protesting candidates are commencing a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
Ever since the results were released last week, there have been complaints, with many candidates claiming their results were not a reflection of their efforts.
Others also blamed JAMB for glitches they suffered during the examination.
It could be recalled that the Board had announced that over 1.5 million out of the 1.9 million that sat this year’s UTME scored below 200 out of the total 400 marks.
A popular education advocate and Chief Executive Officer of Educare, Alex Onyia, has now confirmed that legal proceedings would commence at the Federal High Court on Monday against JAMB.
Onyia revealed that over 8,000 affected students had submitted formal complaints, calling on JAMB to release detailed marking sheets and allow candidates to verify their scores.
“Currently, we have 8,391 students who have sent in their complaints regarding the glitches in the JAMB 2025 exam,” Onyia posted on his X (formerly Twitter) page, @winexv.
“There is ample evidence to prove that JAMB’s system was inefficient, thereby causing serious harm to these students’ mental health.
“The demand is for JAMB to show all the students their mark sheets to view their results— what they failed, the correct answers, and a seamless way to dispute it. The destinies of these students are at stake,” he declared.
