LunagisthubNOA Calls on JAMB to Compensate Affected Candidates After UTME Lapses
The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has urged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to take concrete steps to address the lapses in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). While acknowledging JAMB’s public admission of errors, the NOA emphasized that an apology alone is insufficient and that compensation for affected candidates is necessary.
The NOA stressed that JAMB’s failure has caused unnecessary hardship for innocent candidates, and that bold corrective action is required to rectify the situation. The agency warned that a simple apology cannot undo the damage already done to the academic futures of the affected candidates.
The NOA has called on JAMB to provide compensation to candidates whose academic futures were disrupted due to the lapses.
The agency has urged JAMB to take immediate and concrete steps to address the issues and prevent similar lapses in the future.
The NOA’s call for JAMB to compensate affected candidates is a timely reminder that accountability and corrective action are essential in situations like this. By taking concrete steps to address the lapses, JAMB can help mitigate the damage caused and restore the trust of candidates and stakeholders.
