The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate a technical error that allegedly compromised the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The resolution was passed during Thursday’s plenary session following the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Adewale Adebayo, a lawmaker representing Osun State.
The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is an annual examination organized by JAMB for students seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria, including universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. The exam is a critical step for many Nigerian students, as their scores determine their eligibility for higher education.
In recent years, JAMB has transitioned the UTME from paper-based to computer-based testing (CBT) to enhance efficiency and reduce malpractice. Despite these measures, concerns have been raised over technical issues affecting candidates during exams, including network failures, login difficulties, and system glitches.
The reported technical error in the 2025 UTME has now drawn the attention of lawmakers, prompting the House of Representatives to initiate a probe. The investigation is expected to assess the root causes of the error and recommend solutions to prevent future occurrences.
