UTME results: Shedding crocodile tears not enough, resign – Sowore blast JAMB Registrar

Omoyele Sowore, former presidential candidate has called for the resignation of the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB Prof Ishaq Oloyede.

DAILY POST reports that after a nationwide outrage over the mass failure recorded in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the board on Wednesday bowed and admitted there were errors.

Oloyede, while apologising to candidates, who were affected by the technical errors, broke down in tears.

However, Sowore is of the opinion that shedding tears for the “organization’s egregious errors”, is not enough, asking the Registrar to tender his resignation.

According to the popular activist, upon his resignation, a thorough investigation should be conducted on the board.

He wrote, “The Registrar of the Jamb official Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Prof. Oloyede bears responsibility for the organization’s egregious errors, which have devastatingly claimed a young life, shedding crocodile tears is not a remedy for these infractions.

“As a first step, he should resign, followed by a thorough investigation and possible prosecution for manslaughter.

“Moreover, JAMB must be scrapped. #revolutionnow”.
