The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has disclosed that a blind candidate hired a fellow blind man as an impersonator to sit the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on his behalf.

According to the Registrar of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, the blind impersonator is an undergraduate.

Oloyede who spoke at a press briefing on Friday, said the board remained committed to providing the necessary support for persons with disabilities aspiring to pursue tertiary education.

He said, “The Prof. Peter Okebukola-led JAMB Equal Opportunity Group continues to demonstrate exceptional dedication in ensuring that these candidates are able to sit examinations, regardless of their challenges,” Oloyede said while giving a brief on the 2025 UTME in Abuja.

“JAMB refunds to the blind and some categories of challenged candidates their registration fee in addition to providing transportation, lodging and feeding for them. For the 2025 UTME, a total of 501 candidates were successfully examined by JEOG across 11 centres nationwide. The results are also being released today.

“Sadly, one of them was also involved in impersonation by recruiting an undergraduate student who is also blind to come and write for another blind candidate.”

The 2025 UTME results were officially released to the public on Friday.

Ahead of the release, JAMB provided statistics on the performance of the 1.9 million candidates who participated in the exam. The figures show a staggering outcome as over 1.5 million candidates scored below 200, which is considered the average benchmark.

The UTME, which is scored over a total of 400 marks, tests candidates across four core subjects. While the Use of English is mandatory for all, candidates are allowed to choose three other subjects relevant to their intended course of study.

Reacting to the performance data, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, said the results reflect the effectiveness of government efforts to curb exam malpractice.
