ASUU threatens court action against JAMB over 2025 UTME results

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Nigeria Nsukka, has threatened to sue JAMB over the mass failure recorded in the 2025 UTME.

Briefing newsmen in Nsukka, yesterday, Oyibo Eze, chairman of ASUU-UNN claimed mass failure which mostly affected candidates from South East was a deliberate attempt by JAMB to stop children from the zone from gaining admission into higher institutions.

“My office has been inundated with protest calls and visits by parents and the general public on this deliberate mass failure in the 2025 JAMB examination.

“ASUU will challenge this result in the High Court if JAMB fails to review the result and give candidates their merited scores.

“JAMB knows that children from South East must score higher before they can get admission whereas their counterparts in some parts of the country will use a 120 JAMB score to get admission to read medicine in universities in their area.

“In the JAMB recently released results, out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 exam over 1.5 million candidates scored less than 200 and the majority of them are from South East and Lagos State where many Igbo reside.”
