John Felix Obughikem, a biology teacher who had initially scored 159 in JAMB has shared his new score after taking the exam again.
Felix had earlier expressed outrage over his initial score of 159, which he believed was inaccurate, and had even threatened legal action against JAMB.
Following the resit—which he was informed about just 24 hours before the exam.
He posted his new result online, suggesting that if he could achieve 282 under such short notice, his original performance was likely higher than initially recorded.
He credited his earlier public protest with drawing attention to the issue, noting that it helped amplify the voices of younger students who might have stayed silent about their low scores.
Felix thanked news outlets and Educare CEO Alex Onyia, and everyone who shared his posts for helping create the public pressure that led JAMB to acknowledge technical and human errors and eventually organize the resit.
He said …
“If I could get 282 under 24 hours notice to retake JAMB, then I must have scored higher in the previous one.
“I was very sure I couldn’t score as low as 37 in Biology and 159 aggregate. At least my agitation has helped to save the younger students who wouldn’t have said anything. Thank you Legit .ng. Thank you viralnews .com. Thank you phoenix news. Thank you Alex Onyia of Educare.ng, you were the real weight behind the rescheduling.
“Thank you all my fb friends that shared the posts I made. You helped me fight a just course. #282 is not #159.”
