JAMB: Reps Summon Registrar Over Mass failure

The House of Representatives Thursday summoned the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof Dibu Ojerinde, over mass failure by candidates in the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The recently released result of the examination showed many students scoring below 150, out of the 400 marks based on the four papers each of the candidates sat for. Chairman, House Committee on Education, Hon. Aminu Suleiman (PDP Kano), said yesterday that the summons became imperative due to series of complaints and protests by a cross section of Nigerians. Said he: “We heard that JAMB authorities had formally explained some reasons for the mass failure. This is not enough if the content of the complaints of Nigerians is anything to go by.

The Opinionist Corner: Would You Support The Remarking Of Utme Exam?

The UTME/JAMB exams result was released a few days back, and the drama that unfolded from the point of release is still ongoing. The episodes have been entertaining albeit thought provoking. Now, the opinions roll out, with most quarters raising salient points here and there.

No Doubt, The Northerners Appear to be the most United People in This Country(Nigeria ­).

While the Easterners, Southerners and Westerners have sat down, give in to faith and accepted the released 2013 Jamb results, Only the Northerners have said NO, That's Not Our Results, And You Must Release our own results.
 

They Have backed it up with Protest in Kano and Sokoto(two power house of the north), and we also gathered that Kaduna, and Borno is also boiling with protests today.

If this continues, the 2013 UTME Would be re-marked as was the 2009 incidence.
 

Would you support the Re-marking?

 

Footnotes:

My 2cents though! Just because many people failed they want it remarked. The problem is in the poor quality of the education system which has been represented in the results. These guys should better protest for an improvement in the quality of education.
