“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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
