The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, was yesterday instructed by the Senate to start to prolong its results’ validity to three years as well as cease with immediate effect the re-posting of candidates to schools they did not apply to, as such strategy was against the board’s establishment act.

The motion, which was contested during the plenary, was named: “JAMB’s New Admission Policy,” and was moved by Senator Joshua Lidani, APC representing Gombe South. The motion also advised JAMB to consult broadly with Parents Teachers Association, ASUU and all stakeholders in the education sector with a view to coming out with a friendlier holistic, comprehensive and sustainable admissions policy.

It went further to engage the Senate’s Committee on Education to query the conditions around the JAMB policy, which include all claims of favaouritism and evaluate entirely JAMB’s power vis-à-vis administration and submit its report in a period of one week.

Senator Lidani grimaced at JAMB’s strategy of sending candidates to institutions whose fees could not be affordable by the candidates’ parents or guardians and in some cases, candidates were sent to institutions that are far from their homes thereby incurring more financial burden on their parents or guardians. The Senator stated that despite the fact that the Federal Ministry of Education had put a stop to this policy, JAMB was still implementing it, hence creating further hardship for parents as well as uncertainty in the education sector.
