. University of Nigeria Nsukka Lecturers Threaten To Sue JAMB
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Nigeria Nsukka branch, has declared that the results of the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) was an injustice targeted towards preventing children from the South East zone from gaining admission into higher institutions in the country.
Platforms Africa reports that the Chairman of ASUU-UNN, Óyibo Eze, who made the disclosure while briefing newsmen in Nsukka on Wednesday, threatened to sue the Joint Matriculation Board over the massive failure recorded in the Exam.
Oyibo said the massive failure, which mostly affected candidates from the South East, was a deliberate attempt by JAMB to stop children from the zone from getting admission.

He said, “My office has been inundated with protests, calls and visits by parents and the general public on this deliberate massive failure in the 2025 JAMB examination.
ASUU will challenge this result in High Court if JAMB fails to review the result and give candidates their merited scores.
“JAMB knows that children from the South East must score higher before they can get admission whereas their counterparts in some parts of the country will use 120 JAMB score to get admission to read medicine in universities in their area.
“In the JAMB recently released result, out of 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 examination, over 1.5 million candidates scored less than 200 and the majority of these are from the South East and Lagos State, where many Igbos reside.”
He called on governors from the South East to rise up and challenge this injustice targeted towards preventing children from the zone from gaining admission into higher institutions in the country.
