JAMB FACES LEGAL PRESSURE TO RELEASE FULL UTME QUESTIONS, ANSWERS OVER MASS FAILURE
, Over 1.5 million students who scored below 200 in the 2025 UTME may trigger a legal showdown, as their legal representatives—John Nwobodo & Associates—have formally requested the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to release the full set of questions and answers administered during the exam. The firm alleges the mass failure suggests a possible malfunction in JAMB’s grading software and demands transparency for public trust.
Citing drastic score variations and lack of access to marked responses, the lawyers say the current system only shows aggregate subject scores, offering no means for candidates to evaluate their actual answers. They warned of possible legal action under the Freedom of Information Act if JAMB fails to respond swiftly. Over 70% of candidates reportedly scored below 200 this year, fueling widespread criticism.
