Chief Executive of the Joint
Admission and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde,
has directed all universities in the
country to conclude all admission
processes on or before October
31, 2013, stressing that it would
not entertain late admission.
He gave the directive on Tuesday
during the opening of the first
technical committee meeting on
2013/2014 admission to degree
awarding institutions held at the
University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom
State.
At the meeting which is being
attended by officials saddled
with admission processes in
federal, state and private
universities, the registrar said, "I
wish to inform you that
admissions for the 2013/2014
academic session is expected to
be carried out between October
14 to 18, at the boards national
headquarters, Bwari, Abuja. It
therefore implies that the next
technical meeting scheduled to
hold at Adeyemi College of
Education, Ondo, from Monday,
September 23 to September 27,
will solely be for admission into
polytechnics, monotechnics,
colleges of education and
innovative enterprises
institutions".
The JAMB boss reminded the
admission officers that the future
development of the Nigeria rest
on them as it's only through
education that Nigerian children
would acquire appropriate skills
and technology for the
development of the country.
"For me, the logical response as
far as the exercise before us is
concerned, is that everyone
present here today should be
open and transparent in
whatever action and decision he/
she makes", he added.
He urged not them not to
compromise on standard, but
strictly comply with the Federal
Government's approved criteria
on admission, stressing that such
would guarantee equal
opportunity for all Nigerians.
Earlier, the Akwa Ibom State
Commissioner for Education,
Prof. Atim Antai, called on JAMB to
sensitize the people on its
planned e-testing programme.
According to her, such method of
examination would reduce to the
barest minimum the issue of
malpractices as usually reported
during the board's examinations.
She said Akwa Ibom State has a
lot of value for education, and
that, that is why the government
made education free and
compulsory at primary and
secondary levels.
