Concerns have continued to pour in over the massive failure of candidates in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as 1.5 million out of the 1.9 million candidates who sat for the examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) scored below 200.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has stated that the high failure rate in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is proof that anti-malpractice measures are working effectively, particularly within the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) system. The comment came in the wake of widespread concerns following JAMB’s release of data showing that out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the exam, only about 420,000 scored above 200. More than 78% failed to meet the 200-mark threshold. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday, the Minister attributed the poor performance to reduced cheating due to JAMB’s stringent security protocols. In Alausa's words: “That’s a big concern, and it’s a reflection of exams being done the proper way. “JAMB conducts its exam using a computer-based testing system.
