System Glitch: UNN Law Professor, Ezeilo, Blasts JAMB
JAMB Registrar, Professor Oloyede, admitted a system glitch caused mass failures in South East states and Lagos. Former UN Rapporteur Professor Ezeilo responded, commending JAMB's admission of error, but criticized the inconsiderate implementation of new technology without addressing the digital divide, particularly impacting rural areas, women, and girls. Ezeilo argued against attributing failures to student intelligence or disinterest in education, advocating for a gradual phasing out of paper-based tests, suggesting a 5-10 year period of offering both options to ensure inclusivity.
