The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a socio-cultural organization representing the Igbo people, has rejected the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board's (JAMB) decision to conduct a resit examination for candidates affected by the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) malpractices.
Demands for Special Consideration
Ohanaeze has demanded that JAMB grant a minimum score of 300 to all South-East candidates who sat for the examination. The organization argues that the candidates from the region have been unfairly disadvantaged by the examination malpractices.
The Issue of Marginalization
The demand for special consideration raises questions about the fairness and equity of the examination process. The South-East region has long been a vocal advocate for greater representation and inclusion in national affairs.
Conclusion
The standoff between Ohanaeze and JAMB highlights the need for greater dialogue and understanding between stakeholders in the education sector. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether JAMB will consider the demands of Ohanaeze and other stakeholders.
