My Findings After Visiting JAMB Office Today - Chidoka.

According to Former Minister of Aviation , Chief Osita Chidoka, he said he was invited by JAMB's Registrar with other selected stakeholders. Chidoka explained that what he saw at JAMB office was encouraging

He wrote:" the Athena Centre has been inundated with messages and calls urging us to speak on the 2025 JAMB results.

"While we deeply appreciate the growing public confidence in our work, we believe that commentary—especially on such a sensitive national issue—must be based on evidence, not emotion or speculation.

"To this end, we refrained from making public statements until we had verified information.

"Today, at the invitation of the JAMB Registrar, Prof Oloyede, I had the privilege of ing other selected stakeholders, Commissioners for Education, Vice Chancellors, the Parents Teachers Association, the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, and Chief External Examiners, at the JAMB headquarters for a comprehensive review of the 2025 examination process.

"What I witnessed left me encouraged.


"JAMB has embraced transparency, rigour, and ability in the face of serious public concern. I am proud of the open and honest process they instituted to address the technical issues that affected results in Lagos and the South East. This is the hallmark of institutional integrity and responsibility.

"We observed the physical re-marking of randomly selected scripts—a painstaking but necessary process. It showed a commitment to truth over convenience.

"We have filed a Freedom of Information request at the Athena Centre through the Arthur Nwankwo Institute. We are reviewing 10 years of past results for comparative analysis with the 2025 results.

"So far, I am impressed with the review process and call on all affected candidates to remain calm and await formal communication from JAMB in the coming days.

"Our country will grow when public institutions are able, citizens are active, and organisations remain vigilant.

"I also want to thank Alex Onyia, CEO of Educare, for his consistent advocacy in the education sector and for standing firmly on the side of students and fairness.

"Let us build a nation where truth, not speculation, shapes our response to failure and where integrity is the foundation of reform".

No any pre-university exam beats JAMB, as of today. That's the fact in Nigeria.
DesChyko:
From the quality of your grammar, what would you know about that? 😂😂
EDGEof2MORO:
English will be tough for you in JAMB
grin grin Why una dey make fuss out of this? Yoy ask people, dem say dey no understand my point? Lol...

While I it that the statement is indeed incorrect, I'll have you know that I habitually treat quirks on NL rather colloquially than formally.

Meanwhile, do you two know that if they set the most complex English exam for the three of us or anyone in your states that you prefer to nominate, I will trump you? Pick a date later in the year, let's slug it out on IELTS or SAT standard set of English exams. We'll the softwares and make it the model. Let's chip in 500K each to make the prize 1.5M, winner takes it all.

I bet I'll not prepare for the test and still trounce you two or your nominees. cool cool

Mentions of una grammar nazis wan dey too much for me.

If you begin shouting that they should scrap jamb and whatnot... I always thought you couldn't 200 in JAMB, so prefer miracle centers of WAEC and NECO mode of things that could not be replicated in JAMB, simple.

With the prevalent lack of comprehension, narrow-mind and unteachable spirits displayed on social media especially here on Nairaland by majority of the Youth - No critical thinking; broader view of life is zero - I already knew that ing JAMB will be a herculean task to such generation!

Thank you, Chief Osita Chidoka, for your perspective on the 2025 JAMB results and the steps being taken to address public concerns. While I appreciate the transparency demonstrated by JAMB in their efforts to review the results and address the issues in Lagos and the South East, it is important to acknowledge that there are still significant concerns that need further scrutiny.

Firstly, the fact that these issues have affected specific regions raises questions about the robustness of JAMB's internal systems and the consistency of its examination process nationwide. While re-marking of scripts is a step in the right direction, it is troubling that such discrepancies occurred in the first place, especially in a national examination system that impacts millions of students.

Moreover, the transparency of the review process, though commendable, should not overshadow the urgency of addressing the root causes of these issues. Was there a failure in the technical infrastructure or an oversight in the initial assessment? What steps are being taken to ensure that such errors do not recur in future examinations? These are questions that need clear and detailed answers.

While I understand that JAMB has made efforts to communicate and engage with stakeholders, the delay in providing formal to affected candidates and the public is a concern. In such critical matters, especially in an examination system that has such a profound impact on students' futures, swift and thorough communication is essential. Any prolonged uncertainty only exacerbates public frustration and diminishes trust in the institution. I listened to the JAMB spokesman on TVC, it was disappointing, disturbing and discouraging.

In conclusion, while JAMB’s efforts to review the 2025 results are commendable, the focus must now be on the students preparing for their WAEC exams. These students have worked hard, and they deserve a fair and reliable system that reflects their efforts. It is not all of them that are on social media and the ones that put so much effort into succeeding should not be cheated. We cannot afford to set a bad example, as we did with INEC, where unresolved issues undermined public trust. It’s vital that we restore confidence in our examination processes, ensuring that students get the results they deserve and can move forward without doubt.

🇳🇬 we Nigerians are too hypocritical. We all know the root cause of this mass failure but we all act as if we don't know. Issokay, let's continue blaming JAMB while leaving out the real culprits who actually are the parents, the school owners and the government.

Of course the children of the rich are all abroad so they can learn how to do all types of jobs to keep themselves afloat. 😂😂😂[left][/left]

When you structure information to make a political point, it becomes unbalanced.

Wisdom is justified by its children.

This is not what he said." Randomly selected script for re- marking" translates to verification of original results.
If a server glitch occurs without a JAMB server, means the CBT centers tried funny things.

Students complained of computer glitches but the truth remains that computer based test are difficult because some answers are almost similar that even when you are sure of the answer ,you remain confused and because you are working against time , you follow your instinct.
