A Special Committee on Examination Infractions set up by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has completed its work and will submit its report to JAMB management on Monday, September 8, 2025, the board said in a bulletin on Monday.

Constituted last month, the committee was given a three-week mandate to investigate irregularities detected during the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
The violation was allegedly committed by 6,458 suspected candidates.
It was chaired by Dr. Jake Epelle of the TAF Foundation and tasked with identifying methods, patterns, tools and technologies used to perpetrate various examination offences.
The committee members âreview current examination and registration policies and recommend improvements to strengthen the systemâs resilience against such malpractice; determine the culpability, if any, of each of the 6,458 suspected candidates (whose results, excluding the albinism group, remain withheld; recommend appropriate disciplinary actions or sanctions against individuals or groups found culpable.â
They will also recommend improvements to strengthen the systemâs resilience against malpractice.
The committee was instructed to consider any incidental or related issues and to submit a full report no later than three weeks after its inauguration.
JAMB said the committeeâs report is expected to address novel forms of examination infractions observed during the 2025 UTME.
Membership of the committee includes academics, security and technology experts and representatives of relevant stakeholders.
Notable members listed in the bulletin are Prof. Ibe Ifeakandu (Deputy Chairperson), Prof. Muhammad Yahuza Bello, Prof. Samuel G. Odewumi, Prof. Chinedum Uzoma Nwajiuba, Prof. Tanko Ishaya, and CP (Rtd) Fatai Owoseni. Security representation included officers from the Department of State Services and the Nigerian Police Force, while the Office of the National Security Adviser, the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities and the National Association of Nigerian Students were also represented.
Technology and education stakeholders â including Dr. Chuks Okpaka, Dr. Mrs. Olubukola Dosunmu and others â completed the panel.
Board representatives on the committee included senior JAMB officials from ITS, legal services and other departments, while the committee secretariat comprised Mrs. Alisabatu Jekada and Mr. Iyilade Abiola.
Recall that JAMB investigated the suspected candidates in cases of technology-driven malpractice detected during the 2025 UTME.
Its Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, decried the rising sophistication of exam fraud, revealing that the results of 6,458 candidates remain under investigation for alleged involvement in high-tech cheating.
