How can students trust a board that keeps moving the goalpost — and punishing them each time?

A Slippery Slope
If JAMB is allowed to get away with this, what next?

Will WAEC refuse to issue results to 14-year-old SS3 students?
Will NYSC deny mobilization to those who graduate before 20?
Will the Nigerian system continue to choke brilliance to feed its own incompetence?
This is not just a JAMB issue anymore — it is a national concern.

Final Thought: Do the Right Thing
Policies are meant to guide, not to grind young dreams into powder. JAMB has every right to set standards, but it must do so with justice, strategy, and compassion.

A board that fails to manage its own systems has no moral standing to frustrate students for technicalities. If JAMB truly wants to correct the system, let it start by correcting itself.

Release all withheld results. Apologize for the resit scandal. Stop using policies as weapons. And start acting like a board that cares about the future of Nigeria’s children.

Let brilliance breathe. Let excellence rise. Let this madness stop.

With bold concern for Nigeria’s future,

The North and some Muslim folks are tactfully slowing the academic progress of the south with poorly thought out policies like this for starters, who is the head of jamb, what did he study??

Just last Friday, a friend's daughter checked hers and realized they withheld her result with d excuse that "those below 18 cannot print their result slip". I was livid! You allowed me register 4 d exam, wrote the exam, even paid for the result before telling me I can't print what I paid for? What nonsense!

May God help us to help ourselves, cause I don't understand how it seems d nation always take one step forward n five steps backward.

What's the motive for jamb? We already have certain number of credits and distinction required for certain courses. When you get the credits and distinctions in your waec then you apply to the universities you want to study those courses in. That how it's done in atleast the country i stay in. What's with all these jamb and cut off marks? Just another way to milk more money from the masses.
