The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB, says it has yet to release cut-off marks for placements into tertiary institutions for the 2017 academic year.

Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Tuesday, said that the policy committee meeting responsible for the marks had not met.

“We want to appeal to all candidates to jettison such speculations and engage themselves in more meaningful ventures that would add value to their future,’’ he said.

Benjamin said results of the just concluded 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination had since been released, with a few others still being previewed.

“We want to appeal to Nigerians to understand that such candidates whose results are being previewed may not necessarily have participated in any malpractice.

“But rather, centres where they sat for the examination had issues during the conduct of examination.

“These issues were reflected on the CCTV footage and this suggests why they must be carefully investigated before releasing such results,” he said.

The official said a school in Abia was discovered to have connected cables secretly to a distant hall for hired mercenaries to write for candidates.

“This is very unfortunate given the fact that the school is a missionary school and supposed to be a leading light against such
vices.

“We urge candidates to note that no result will be withheld without a cogent reason as this explains why we are taking time to ensure that those who are innocent are
exonerated.

“Again, candidates are advised not to patronise any centre, office or shop for any service; please visit our offices in all the 36 states of the Federation and FCT for any
complaint, enquiry or assistance.

“This is also because our attention has also been drawn to an illegal centre being operated near our Ikoyi Office in Lagos with the aim of defrauding innocent candidates.

“This centre collects all kinds of fees in cash for services that are even free. The general public should note that payments for any of our services are done via our TSA account with CBN and not cash.”

I have a simple suggestion on how to solve the perenial admission problems in Nigeria, let the States be group into 3s or 4s,so that prospective students from those States can apply directly to any state or federal university within those States, under go the universities entrance exams with good waec/neco results n b admitted, while Jamb set the general standards n supervised, let university of abuja be open to all candidates nationwide. private universities can admits students from wherever they like in compliance with Jamb general standards n regulations. the States should be group as follow;Lagos Ogun Oyo.. ondo ekiti Edo delta..kwara kogi Niger..kebbi sokoto zamfara..Kaduna kano jigawa. borno yobe gombe ..Adamawa taraba bauchi... Benue plateau nasarawa..Enugu ebonyi cross river..anambra IMO abia..akwa ibom rivers bayelsa...ABUJA.I strongly believe this will engender healthy competition,improve standards n at the same time solve the problems of admission. N.B in this case jamb utme will be phased out.

And will this foster cultural integration?

And how do we define good WAEC or NECO results in this era of widespread malpractices?

Badtman:
yes bro, but the moment i tried to proceeded with the Eng reading passage and independence question the system tripped off

positivetaught:
what cultural integration has the jamb utme fostered all this while, let's stop fooling ourselves n find ways of moving on fast,as for waec/neco standard five credits in the relevant subjects should sufficed, the universities can then organise entrance test to harmonise the standard. n by the way how is the admission conducted in populous n multicultural society like U.S.A without much rancour like ours here?.

Protein0:


The present system avail Adamu the opportunity of choosing UNN and Uche d opportunity of choosing ABU which your proposed system won't allow.

Other multicultural societies don't restrict aspirants' choice to a geographical location.
Try and find out sir.

I admire your very civil presentation, n I think there is some sense in what u said,I still strongly feel my idea is basically good but to accommodate your observation then perhaps the States combination could be done in manner to include States in different geopolitical zones as a group,what do you think?,my major concern here is a simple workable solution to this perennial embarrassment of university admission wahala.
