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.
