Senate asks JAMB to extend validity of results to 3 years

The Senate, yesterday, directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to extend the validity of its results to a period of at least three years. JAMB was also ordered to immediately stop its policy of re-assigning candidates to schools they didn't apply to, saying such policy was contrary to the act establishing the board.

The order came following a motion entitled: ”JAMB’s New Admission Policy, “ sponsored by Senator  Joshua  Lidani, APC, Gombe South, which was debated during plenary.

They also urged JAMB to consult widely with Parents Teachers Association, PTA, ASUU and all other stakeholders in the education sector with a view to coming out with a friendlier holistic, comprehensive and sustainable admissions policy.

It also directed its Committee on Education to enquire into circumstances surrounding the JAMB policy, including all allegations of favouritism and generally review the power of JAMB vis-a-vis administration and submit findings within one week.

Lidani said JAMB, at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July 14, 2015, in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, were reassigned to other universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities. Which he said was inappropriate because some candidates get sent to private universities that they cant afford.

Hmmmmm...

These Senator's want to turn JAMB to chewing stick. Biko dis advise is frm them is unacceptable and let them leave JAMB alone to run their houz as they deem fit.

This will be so nice if they shld implement this. Imagine sm1 paying consecutively for years re-writing jamb every year, makes it look like it doesn't even worth it....in d first place. But if they extend it, atleast some ppl will see †ђξ usefulness of writing it even once....makes sense that way

I support the decision of the senate stopping JAMB from sending candidates to schools they didn't apply, as for the other one, I have my reservations.

Nice move! It's really gonna be of help to all admission seekers.

Ladun Liadi said...

I've thought about it several times and I don't think they will, it will cost them money. Thousands will not purchase JAMB forms if the validity period is extended.

Best news I've read today ... Younger ones shouldn't have to go through what I went through to gain admission.

God bless the senate for this....
