The panel is a multi-stakeholder body that includes representatives from the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), and chief external examiners who oversaw parts of the examination process. This diverse composition is expected to offer a balanced perspective on the root causes of the setbacks experienced during the 2025 UTME and help guide comprehensive reforms.

Also joining the panel are members of the Computer Professionals Association of Nigeria (CPN) and the Educational Assessment and Research Network. Their inclusion signals an emphasis on both technological and research-driven insights, particularly in addressing challenges related to computer-based testing and examination integrity. The Board emphasized that the findings and recommendations of the panel will play a critical role in shaping the future of standardized testing in Nigeria.
