Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has blasted the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, for its handling of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, describing it as grossly inadequate.<\/p>\n

The NNPP leader in the Southwest, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, in a statement released on Friday, declared that the current officials overseeing JAMB are unfit for their roles.<\/p>\n

Ajadi condemned JAMB\u2019s mismanagement, emphasizing that the examination body plays a crucial role for millions of students seeking admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges.<\/p>\n

He argued that the registrar\u2019s apology does little to ease the suffering of those affected, particularly families of students who reportedly lost their lives due to frustrations linked to the examination process.<\/p>\n

He urged the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, to probe JAMB\u2019s operations and hold accountable those responsible for the lapses.<\/p>\n

The NNPP also expressed condolences to the families of the deceased and called for a thorough review of the issues plaguing the examination body. He opined that decentralizing the matriculation examination could ease the burden on JAMB and improve efficiency.<\/p>\n

The party leader further stressed that any rescheduled examinations should allow sufficient time for preparation to avoid repeating past mistakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent admission of errors by JAMB is an embarrassment to our nation. Their inefficiency has caused immense sorrow for families affected by this situation. The government must take decisive action to address these failures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
