The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Equal Opportunity Group (JEOG) has publicly commended JAMB Registrar Professor Is’haq Olanrewaju Oloyede for his transparency and accountability in handling the recent 2025 UTME result glitches.

In a statement released in Abuja by JEOG Chairman Emeritus Professor Peter A. Okebukola, the group praised Oloyede’s “candour, courage, and transparency” in addressing the technical errors that disrupted over 379,000 candidates’ examinations.

“On behalf of JEOG, I extend our heartfelt solidarity and unwavering support to the Registrar, the entire JAMB leadership, and all candidates affected by the recent developments. We commend the Registrar’s integrity and accountability in addressing the matter,” Okebukola said.

During a press briefing on May 14, Professor Oloyede took full responsibility for the technical issues, issued a public apology, and assured that affected candidates would have their exams rescheduled.

JEOG described these actions as a “demonstration of fairness and transparency in Nigeria’s educational assessment process.”

“The decision to admit the oversight and initiate remedial action reflects the best ideals of public service and accountability,” the statement added.

JEOG also praised JAMB’s coordination with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to minimize exam conflicts and prevent any undue disadvantage to candidates.

While recognizing the distress caused, the group urged students and families to accept the apology in good faith, saying, “We stand with you during this challenging period.”

Okebukola concluded, “While human systems may falter, our collective resolve to uphold justice and equity in education must never waver.”

The group reaffirmed confidence in JAMB’s inclusive policies and commitment to quality assurance, emphasizing that the glitches were an isolated incident rather than a systemic failure.
