JAMB: Man blames generator, displays UTME result
He added that the issue had gotten to the extent that the organizers of the exam had to take him to another system, but by the time he started, he had already spent a lot of time.
Chukwudi David Uguru explained:
“I was disappointed with the system failure on Saturday’s exam. I attempted 147 questions in all. Only CRK I answered all; I was still on English before their generator went off, network ceased. It reached a level that they had to change system for me.”
“Over 25–30 minutes gone, I didn’t do anything. So frustrated because I was at half of English questions and was expecting to finish it up before going to check the ones I omitted. Time ran out, leaving over 33 questions unanswered, which is almost one subject unanswered. Thanks, I wasn’t expecting any result.”
He spoke further in the post, adding that he was hoping to perform well and score about 300 in the exam, but he couldn’t due to what happened.
He continued:
“I was targeting 300 but already gave up. I am surprised to see 222.”

His message:
“I am using this time to call on JAMB officials to please do better. I wrote my exam at Zololo Junction. The generator failure and time taken to restore network affected us, and they should do better next time. Thank you.”
