“I Apologise & Take Full Responsibility”. The Moment JAMB Registrar Prof Oloyede Breaks Down In Tears (pic & video)
The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, on Wednesday, broke into tears as he apologised for the errors in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
“I apologise for the trauma caused the candidates,” Oloyede said tearfully during a press conference in Abuja.
Visibly moved, the registrar intermittently wiped his face with a handkerchief as he expressed regret over the development, taking full responsibility for the negligence of some staff members.
He disclosed that candidates who sat for the exam in 65 centres across Lagos and 92 centres in the Owerri Zone, which covers the five South-East states, would be required to retake the test.
This move comes after weeks of public outcry from candidates and parents over irregular scores and glitches, which prompted calls for an investigation and corrective measures by the examination body.
