The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has dismissed claims of conspiracy theories against a part of the country following the technical glitch recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The technical glitch affected the five states of the South-East zone and Lagos, with many alleging that the Board deliberately compromised results of the South-East candidates.

But at a meeting with the management of the board ahead of the release of results of the rescheduled UTME Examination on Wednesday, Prof. Oloyede denied the allegation.

He added that the death of a candidate as a result of the examination is regrettable as the meeting observes a minute silence in honour of the dead candidate.

Professor Ishaq Oloyede insisted there was no deliberate attempt to undermine students from the South-East as every candidate is Nigerian and has equal opportunities.

His denial follows calls from some quarters, especially lawmakers from the South-East zone for his resignation over the technical glitch that affected over 300,000 students.

The South-East Caucus of the 10th House of Representatives on Tuesday called for the resignation of Oloyede over the technical glitch.

It also called for the examination to be completely cancelled and a new date fixed for the exercise across the country.

In a statement signed by the caucus leader, Igariwey Iduma Enwo, the lawmakers described the examination’s outcome as a “national shame.”

They said, “To this end, we call for the immediate suspension of those at the commanding heights of JAMB’s digital operations and examination logistics.

“The registrar of JAMB is said to be a good man, but then, leadership must carry consequences. We, therefore, call on the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, to do the needful by resigning his appointment to pave the way for a thorough examination and remediation of the root causes of this national shame.

“That’s the way to go in any civilised democracy, and we expect no less.”
