THE Joint Action Coalition on Education (JACE) in Lagos said it will prevail on authorities of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to ensure candidates who missed their examination will resit the exam.

LAST week I began an examination of the reasons for the drop in the standard for admission into Nigerian Universities with a focus on the role played by the Joint Admissions Regulation Board and how overtime, Universities began to notice a general deficiency in candidates admitted through the examinations conducted by the body. As I will later discuss, several factors, some of which were directly traceable to JAMB itself, were responsible for this development. However it cannot be denied that certain other factors also contributed to the decline in the quality of students admitted into the Universities.

A non- governmental organisation known as Sonny Abumhenre Odion Foundation, yesterday rewarded five JAMB candidates from Esan Land otherwise known as the Edo Central Senatorial District of Edo State with the sum of N500,000 for their excellent performance in the 2017 JAMB examination.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) MB has not opened its portal for candidates in the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to effect change of course or correction of data, an official has said.

THE Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board. JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Wednesday said that the Board withheld about 80,889 results of the Computer Based Test, CBT, Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME as a result of alleged examination malpractices.

It cannot be denied that the poor quality of candidates gaining admission into Universities also plays a very significant role as it has brought about a general lowering of standards with regards to admissions.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has yet to release cut-off marks for placements into tertiary institutions for 2017 academic year, contrary to speculation by some Nigerians.

The best way to stop the attacks and criticisms is for Professor Oloyede to transform JAMB to present day modernity

With concerns raised by parents over the on-going Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, examination across the country, particularly in the areas where computers, power failure, furniture and peaceful space for the conduct of Computer Based Test, CBT, some accredited centres have continued to do their best to make the exercise hitch-free.

The just concluded examinations (UTME) conducted by JAMB on prospective candidates into universities has unfortunately become another tool in the hands of federal institutions under the APC administration to continue to attempt to humiliate Ndigbo in every area of their success in order to futilely make them appear as villains rather than as the victims of a jaundiced system maturing into a malignant cancerous entity.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is to watch the recordings of proceedings in its Closed Circuit Camera Televisions (CCTVs) during the just-concluded Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says more than 10,000 candidates caught for examination malpractices in the on-going UTME in Anambra have been handed over to appropriate authority.

As the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB,concludes the 2017 Computer Based Test, CBT, for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, the Board has debunked the rumour making the rounds that it was deducting marks from candidates that have so far written the test.
