The House of Representatives has resolved to launch an investigation into technical errors that reportedly affected the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

The resolution was passed during Thursday's plenary session following a motion of urgent public importance moved by Hon. Adewale Adebayo, who represents a constituency in Osun State.

Hon. Adebayo expressed serious concerns over the growing number of complaints from candidates and parents regarding irregularities in the recently released UTME results, prompting the legislative intervention.

JAMB's Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had on Wednesday acknowledged the existence of errors during an ongoing press briefing in Abuja, confirming the technical issues that affected student performance in the nationwide examination.

"What should have been a moment of joy has changed due to one or two errors," Oloyede admitted during the briefing, though specific details about the nature and extent of the technical glitches were not immediately provided.

The UTME, which serves as the primary entrance examination for tertiary institutions across Nigeria, is taken annually by hundreds of thousands of candidates seeking admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

This development comes at a critical time when many candidates are anxiously awaiting their results to proceed with university admission processes, creating uncertainty for students and parents alike.

The House investigation is expected to examine the causes of the technical glitches, assess their impact on candidates' performances, and recommend appropriate remedial measures to address the situation.

Further details regarding the scope and timeline of the investigation are expected to be announced in the coming days as the House committee begins its work.
