“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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
