Expert demands UTME result review

In a post on Sunday, May 11, he said:
"Currently, we have 8,391 students who have sent in their complaints regarding the glitches in the JAMB 2025 exam. These are lots of evidences to prove that JAMB’s system was inefficient and thereby causing serious harm to these students mental health.
"The demand is for JAMB to show all the students their mark-sheet to view their results. Also, see what they failed, the correct answer and possible a seamless way to dispute it.
"The destinies of these students are at stake.
"Students, we won’t let your guards down!"
