🔥BREAKING: Nigeria’s university entrance exams rocked by scandal! 😱🚨
The body overseeing Nigeria’s university entrance exams has confessed to a major “technical glitch” that has thrown this year’s results into chaos, with a shocking 80% of students receiving abysmally low grades. 😳💥
Students are up in arms over login failures, missing questions, and power outages disrupting their exams. The fallout from this debacle has been tragic, as one young hopeful, Faith Opesusi Timileyin, tragically took her own life after scoring below expectations. Her heartbroken family revealed she had scored lower this year despite retaking the exam, leading to devastating consequences. 💔😢
The pass rate for the exams, administered by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (Jamb), hit an all-time low, with only a fraction of students meeting the qualifying mark. Outrage has swept the nation, prompting Jamb to announce a retest for affected areas.
Stories of technical mishaps and emotional turmoil have emerged, with students recounting nightmarish experiences during the exams. Favour Eke shared her distressing encounter of unanswered questions and technical glitches, jeopardizing her chance at university for the third time. 😤
Jamb’s registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, was visibly shaken as he issued a heartfelt apology for the “painful damage” inflicted on students. Nearly 380,000 candidates in 157 affected centers have been granted a second chance to retake their exams, starting this Saturday.
The shocking revelations have sparked a nationwide outcry, with demands for accountability and justice echoing across social media. Calls for Oloyede’s resignation have intensified, with prominent figures condemning the systemic failures plaguing the education system. 📣👀
