The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has stated that the performance figures for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination align with trends observed over the last 12 years.

Responding to public concerns surrounding this year’s results, Oloyede emphasized that the outcome was consistent with historical patterns.

In an interview with the newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja, he noted that out of the 1.9 million candidates who sat for the UTME, approximately 1.5 million scored below 200.

He emphasised, however, that such results are not unusual and align with historical patterns.

“This is not peculiar to this year. The performance statistics are consistent with those of the last 12 years,” he said.

Commenting on the delay in releasing individual results, the JAMB Registrar explained that the delay was due to an ongoing review process for certain candidates.

“We have not released the individual results yet, but we have published the overall statistics because that part of the process has been completed.

“We are currently reviewing the cases of some candidates with borderline issues. We need to determine whether their results should be released or withheld.

“Once that is concluded, likely by tomorrow, we will release the individual results”.
