The South East Caucus of the House of Representatives has demanded the resignation of the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, over what it described as a “catastrophic institutional failure” in the conduct of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
The leader of the caucus, Igariwey Enwo in a statement issued Monday criticized JAMB for the technical glitches that affected nearly 380,000 candidates, many of whom are now required to resit the exam.
The caucus said the Board’s response has been grossly inadequate, while also lamenting poor communication, scheduling conflicts with ongoing WAEC examinations, and the short notice given for the resit.
It called for the immediate cancellation of the 2025 UTME and the fixing of a new date, preferably after WAEC and NECO exams, to ensure no student is disadvantaged.
It also demanded the suspension of key officials responsible for JAMB’s digital operations and logistics.
