Most JAMB candidates have struggled to score 200 or more over the years. In 2013 and 2014, the numbers were especially worrying. Only 11% and 14.5% of students managed to score 200 and above. That meant nearly nine out of every ten fell short. The remaining majority, over 85%, fell below the 200-mark.
A notable shift occurred in 2015 and 2016, where 31.1% and 34.3% of candidates scored above 200, the highest shares recorded across the entire 13-year period. However, this improvement wasn’t sustained. From 2017 to 2024, the share of 200+ scorers mostly hovered between 21% and 27%. Although 2025 showed a modest rebound with 29.3% scoring 200 and above, it still means more than 70% of candidates performed below that benchmark.
FCT, Ogun, and Nasarawa consistently rank as the top three states with the highest number of road accidents.
The FCT recorded its peak accident figures in 2022, particularly in Q2 (842 cases) and Q4 (864 cases).
In Q2 and Q3 of 2024, Ogun State surpassed the FCT in the number of reported accidents.
Across these three states, there has been a notable decline in accident numbers, with an average decrease of approximately 37.6% between Q2 and Q3 2024.
