Nigerian Students Protest Unfair Exam Results, Demand Review

Nigerian students and their parents are staging protests across the country following the release of the 2025 UTME results. Many students reported receiving unusually low scores, with some claiming their results don't reflect their actual performance. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been accused of incompetence and unfairness. In Lagos, parents stormed the JAMB office, expressing their outrage and demanding a review. One parent stated, "My child is brilliant; there's no way they can get this score." The widespread use of the hashtag #ThisIsNotMyResult on social media underscores the depth of the dissatisfaction. JAMB has responded by launching an investigation into the scoring irregularities. The protests highlight the significant impact of these results on the futures of Nigerian students.
