The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stirred up controversy with its reaction to a candidate’s misspelling of the word ‘punish.’
This comes after the board revealed that 1.5 million candidates who took the 2025 UTME examination scored below 200.
In response to the announcement, a candidate known as Expensive on X (formerly Twitter) expressed frustration and called for divine retribution if their score failed to reach 200.
