He further attributed this poor performance to the JAMB body, calling for scrutiny of the UTME questions and answers as well as the grading system. “Can you make available the detailed breakdown of the English Language scores, questions and answers, including the weighting and grading criteria used to arrive at the final result?” he asked.
He also emphasized that this would help boost the integrity of the Body. “This will help boost the integrity of your system and will also assist the students in clearing their doubts,” he added.
