“From 170 to 301”– Students Happy as JAMB Releases Resit Results
Some candidates who sat for the recently rescheduled 2025 UTME have taken to X to celebrate a dramatic turnaround in their scores. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced the release of the new results on its official X account, confirming that about 379,000 students took part in the resit.
This comes after a wave of public criticism following the original UTME, where over 1.5 million out of 1.9 million candidates reportedly scored below 200 out of 400. The outcry led to investigations, and JAMB later admitted that technical and human errors had affected the integrity of the scores. Now, with the corrected results out, many students feel justice has been served.
Alex Onyia, CEO of EDUCARE, shared one such success story on X. He revealed that a student who originally scored 170 in the exam saw a massive jump to 301 after the resit — all within just two days of extra preparation. “This student was wrongly graded at first. Now with a score of 301, our students have truly been vindicated,” Onyia wrote.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
