JAMB ‘Glitches’ and the Future of University Admissions in Nigeria
In this eye-opening episode of the Franktalknow Podcast, host Dr. Olabisi Deji-Folutile examines the crisis surrounding the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). What began as a routine exam for nearly 2 million candidates turned into a national scandal—marred by widespread technical glitches, server failures, and public outrage.
We explore how faulty software patches and lapses by a key technical service provider disrupted CBT centres across Lagos and the South-East, affecting hundreds of thousands of students. With JAMB admitting fault and offering resits, deeper questions remain: Was this just technical failure—or something more sinister?
Dr. Deji-Folutile dives into the regional suspicions, political accusations, and emotional fallout, including tragic reports of extreme distress among students. She also analyzes the legislative response and what this means for the future of digital exams in Nigeria.
This episode is a must-listen for educators, students, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the credibility of Nigeria’s education system. Join the conversation and share your thoughts: Is it time for a complete overhaul of the UTME structure?
