A Nigerian boy, @ogsmart_0, has expressed sadness after JAMB gave him a new date to retake his UTME, following the exam body's admission of errors, which gave many candidates low scores.

The boy said he is okay with his old UTME score.

In a post on TikTok, the boy displayed the resit text he received from JAMB and showed the reply he gave, voicing out his displeasure about being told to retake the exam.

"Shey una see me complain??

"I no follow complain nah,'' his text to the JAMB message read.

He hoped nothing would happen to his first UTME score. In his words:

"Make nothing do my 185 sha."

In the comment section, the boy maintained his stance, worrying that he doesn't want to lose the 185 he managed to score, suggesting his lack of confidence in his ability to score higher in the exam.

"Omo 💔.

"I no wan loss the small mark wey I luckily get oo."

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a teacher who scored 37 in Biology in the UTME had cried out after being told to resit.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lawyer had lamented online as his sister's UTME resit date clashed with her university's physics practical date.

He said that his sister had decided to write UTME again in 2025 after she wasn't given her preferred course when she scored 289 in 2024. He expressed worry about how she would perform in the resit UTME. His post read in part:

“JAMB has informed my little sister that she will rewrite her exam tomorrow. She's been feeling sad, because its clashing with Maths and Physics practical lectures she has at Uni, but now she has to travel home. Given this kind of stress, I’m worried about how she will perform...''
