Peter Obi

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has expressed displeasure over the massive failure recorded in the 2024 Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, UTME examination.

In a post on his official X account on Thursday, Obi pointed out that the shocking statistics paint a troubling picture that demands urgent national attention. The former Governor expressed worries that the country’s education sector was far behind countries like Iran, Bangladesh, and Egypt. The post reads, 'The recent revelation regarding the JAMB UTME 2024 results and percentages has sparked deep concern about the state of education in our country.

This places Nigeria far below other comparable nations like Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines which are within medium and high HDI. 'Though we claim as a nation that our literacy rate is above 50 percent, which is far below the global average of about 80% and continues to lag behind other comparable countries like Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines with literacy rates of above 70%.
