About This Trend
JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) is a Nigerian entrance examination board responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for prospective undergraduates in Nigerian universities.
The organization is currently trending due to widespread technical glitches in the 2025 UTME, affecting over 370,000 candidates in Lagos and the South-East. JAMB has admitted to system failures, apologized for the errors, and announced retake exams for affected candidates. This has sparked significant public concern and debate about the board's efficiency and handling of the situation.
