JAMB will require nearly 380,000 2025 UTME candidates to retake their exams after major technical issues and irregularities. Official notifications start going out May 15, with retests set for May 16 onward. Authorities warn students to beware of scams and promise tighter security.
The government has mandated parents to register their children on the Student Helpline Information Form (SHIF) to ensure schools have up-to-date information before reopening. This measure aims to help schools plan and cater to student safety, transportation, and educational needs effectively. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is also involved in this initiative to ensure a seamless reopening.
