“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.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
