A group of concerned Nigerian parents gathered at a Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) office to protest what they described as unusually low scores recorded by their children in the recent Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

This follows a report released by JAMB last week, revealing that over 70% of candidates scored below 200 out of the possible 400 marks. The report has sparked widespread concern among candidates and their families, especially those who had previously performed well in earlier UTME attempts.

Many of the protesting parents are demanding a thorough review of the released results, expressing doubts about the credibility of the scoring process. They argue that the drastic drop in performance does not reflect their children’s academic capabilities.
