The vast majority of registered candidates—1,904,189 out of a total of 1,989,668—took to their seats to face the challenge of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. From Friday, April 19, to Monday, April 29, these aspirants put pen to paper, determined to secure a foothold in Nigeria’s tertiary education system.
According to the Education minister, only a tiny fraction of the candidates—a mere 0.4%—managed to score above 300 out of 400, signaling an underwhelming performance by the vast majority of participants. Of the 1,842,464 released results, a staggering 76% scored below 200, highlighting the substantial gap between expectations and reality.
