Two Legal Practitioners, Barristers John C Nwobodo and M C Agbo, have petitioned the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), under the Freedom of Information Act, requesting for the disclosure of the 2025 UTME questions and answers.
The petition made available to Journalists in Enugu was addressed to the Registrar General of JAMB, with copies to the Honourable Minister of Education, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Lawyers said: “We are Solicitors to the 1,534,654 candidates who wrote the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) whose scores are below 200.
“They consist of 2,031 who scored below 100; 3,820 who scored between 100-119; 57,419 who scored between 120-139; 488,197 who scored between 140 and 159; and 983,187 who scored between 160-199. They shall hereafter be referred to as “Our Clients.”
After stating the fact of the case they demanded on behalf of their clients:
“That your Board makes full disclosure of the questions and the corresponding answers administered in respect of each candidate to enable self-evaluation.
“That your Board should undertake a comprehensive review of the marking of the questions administered to ascertain that the correct answers were fixed against the questions.
“Take notice that we have the instruction of our clients to explore every legal avenue to seek justice for the aggrieved candidates. Accordingly, we would be glad to cooperate with you on any measures that would help to clear any doubts in the minds of the candidates regarding their actual performance in the 2025 UTME.
“We look forward to your cooperation and earliest response in accordance with the timeframe for feedback as provided in the Freedom of Information Act.”
