UTME Uproar: 8,000+ Students Drag JAMB to Court Over Glitches, Incomplete Questions Amid Mass Failure”

 The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has erupted into controversy, as over 8,000 candidates prepare to file a lawsuit against the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) following widespread reports of technical glitches, missing exam questions, and disputed scores.

The legal action, led by education advocate and CEO of Educare, Alex Onyia, is expected to begin Monday at the Federal High Court. Onyia revealed on Sunday that 8,391 students have so far submitted formal complaints challenging the credibility of the examination process.

“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) handle, @winexv. “There is ample evidence to prove that JAMB’s system was inefficient, thereby causing serious harm to these students’ mental health.”

The plaintiffs are demanding that JAMB release detailed individual marking sheets, disclose correct answers for each candidate, and establish a process to dispute questionable scores. “The destinies of these students are at stake,” Onyia said.

The outrage follows JAMB’s release of the 2025 UTME results on Friday, which revealed that more than 1.5 million out of the 1.9 million candidates scored below 200 marks—less than half of the total obtainable score of 400. The announcement sparked nationwide concern and accusations of systemic failure.

While Minister of Education Dr. Tunji Alausa hailed the results as evidence of effective anti-malpractice measures, critics argue the poor performance is tied to deep-rooted technological flaws and negligence on JAMB’s part.

A candidate who sat for the exam at a CBT centre in Maitama, Abuja, recounted: “During the examination, for my Use of English, I noticed that some of my questions were missing. I raised the alarm, and I wasn’t the only one. When my result came out, I scored 170. JAMB has not addressed the missing questions.”

Another candidate, who wrote the exam on April 26, said she was stunned by her result: “Last year I scored 287, this year I got 173. Many others who wrote on the same day complained that their English questions were incomplete. This result is not mine.”

Parents have also joined the chorus of discontent. “These are exceptional students scoring below 200,” one parent said. “Many complained of incomplete questions and other technical issues. JAMB has said nothing. This cannot be swept under the rug.”

As of the time of filing this report, JAMB has not issued any official response addressing the technical complaints. Multiple attempts to reach the board’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, for comment were unsuccessful.

The impending lawsuit marks a significant escalation in the ongoing debate over the integrity of Nigeria’s tertiary admissions process, with students, parents, and education advocates united in calling for accountability and transparency from JAMB.

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport

 

There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.

This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.

Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.

The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders

…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph

~By Sunday Adeyemi

 

The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions

The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.

During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.

Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.

Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next

*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*

To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles

*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*

In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles

A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children

Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses

The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
