The University of Lagos notes, with concern, the circulation of various insinuations and claims in e-mails and reports on social media platforms, following the 2025/2026 Post-UTME screening exercise that held from September 1- 4, 2025.
The University categorically affirms that the notification of examination malpractice earlier issued in respect of the screening exercise was not ‘the result of a system or technical glitch’ as being insinuated in these emails and reports.
For the avoidance of doubt, cases flagged were the result of clear violations of established examination guidelines. These detections followed the use of multiple monitoring mechanisms, including secure video surveillance, deployed to ensure the integrity of the screening process.
In line with extant laws and data protection standards, the University will not release uncensored video recordings to the public. However, a limited number of anonymised screenshots may be published solely to illustrate the type of violations under review.
Candidates are strongly advised to disregard information from un-authorised channels, and rely exclusively on communications issued through the University’s official platforms and channels earlier indicated in prior notices to them.
The University of Lagos reiterates its unwavering commitment to integrity, fairness, and transparency in its admissions process, and will not be distracted by conjectures or misinformation.

Good day, I want to make a complaint about the unilag’s website/link for checking our respective (aspirants) status on it.
The last time I checked, finished was written there and to my surprise while checking yesterday it has been changed to disqualified.mind you this happened to a lot of people, I plead to you that this issue should be addressed and please stop keeping us in the dark.
There was indeed a glitch in my process of writing but I hope that does affect my result
I cannot say for others but I believe Unilag did a great job setting up the exam facility for us. It was very seamless and easy especially setting us the SEB etc. for a safe examination environment. I wrote from Abuja and now my result is out, clean and clear. Keep this up, I am impressed.
