The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, on Thursday, rejected the decision by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to schedule a fresh examination for candidates affected by what it termed “errors” in the recently released Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had on Wednesday admitted that technical errors led to unusually low scores for candidates in the five South-East states and Lagos State, and announced that the Board had commenced arrangements to reschedule the exam for the affected candidates.
Reacting in a statement, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, described the decision as “totally unacceptable.”
The group also demanded that 300 scores be awarded to all affected candidates from the South-East.
