While many students from the five South East State and Lagos, resat for the computer based exam, after the JAMB registrar, Ishaq Oloyede admitted that there was a glitch that led to the abysmal scores, there is uncertainty in the outcome of the results which are yet to be released.
With a significant number scoring below 200 in the first released results, the anxiety is real. But don’t panic, there’s still hope.
