The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results have become a trending topic on Nigerian social media as netizens expressed deep concern over the poor performance in the recently released results.
Legit.ng reported that out of the 1,955,069 candidates who sat for the 2025 UTME, over 1.5 million of them scored less than 200 in the exam.
According to the statistical analysis of the UTME results released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Monday, April 5, only 420,415 candidates scored above 200 in this edition of the examination.
The analysis showed that 75% of candidates scored below 200 in the exam, with less than 1% scoring above 300.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that former Anambra governor, Peter Obi, also reacted to the poor JAMB performance.
Some Nigerians, in reaction to the poor result, turned their focus on popular TikTok star Peller as they claimed many JAMB candidates were aspiring to be like him.
Others argued that watching Peller's live broadcasts on TikTok was the reason for this year's terrible JAMB performance.
Mayoveli said: "Platforming someone who epitomizes the Olodo culture like Peller and you expect these kids to pass Jamb en masse. Another year, another Olodo celebrity breaks into stardom, the country has become so anti-intellectual, and money-worshiping that it’s almost unrecognizable."
