Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has called on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to undertake a comprehensive, independent audit of its examination infrastructure to address recent technical glitches experienced during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Speaking to journalists, Kalu criticised the hurried rescheduling of the resit exams, particularly as they coincided with the ongoing 2025 Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE), forcing some students to travel long distances to sit for the tests.

He urged JAMB to engage external professionals, including system engineers and academic measurement experts, to thoroughly examine its Computer-Based Test (CBT) systems, question delivery mechanisms, answer validation processes, and result collation methods.

Kalu further recommended that JAMB should immediately review technical and independent reports from third-party educational technology firms that have collected candidate-level data, noting that it would help fully understand the extent and impact of the challenges encountered.

The Deputy Speaker also called for special attention to candidates from the South-East and Lagos, who he maintained were disproportionately affected by the disruptions, urging the board to ensure they are not further disadvantaged.
