Student reacts as JAMB addresses complaints
The board announced that it would expedite its annual system review to identify and rectify any potential technical issues.
In a video posted on TikTok by @st4r_ucheee, the student expressed her happiness and relief over the recent statement by JAMB.
“Finally they’re saying something,” she said.
The board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, explained that the complaints were unusual and originated from a few states within the Federation.
He assured that the board was taking the complaints seriously and would implement remedial measures if necessary.
To facilitate the review process, the board had engaged a team of experts, including representatives from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria and Vice Chancellors from various institutions.
The board’s decision to fast-track its system review was seen as a positive step towards addressing the concerns raised by students.

While the Board acknowledged the complaints, it emphasised its commitment to ensuring the integrity and fairness of the examination process.
The statement read in part:
“We are particularly concerned about the unusual complaints originating from a few states within the Federation. We are currently scrutinising these complaints in detail to identify and rectify any potential technical issues.
“To assist in this process, we have engaged a number of experts, including members from the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria, Chief External Examiners, who are heads of tertiary institutions, the Educational Assessment and Research Network in Africa, measurement experts, and Vice Chancellors from various institutions. If it is determined that there were indeed glitches, we will implement appropriate remedial measures promptly, as we do in the case of the examinations themselves.”
Reactions as JAMB releases statement
As the board embarks on its review process, students and stakeholders eagerly await the outcome, hoping that it would lead to improvements in the examination process and restore confidence in the system.
The board’s response was a welcome development, and many TikTok users hoped that there would be an effective resolution in the end.
