THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO INVESTIGATE JAMB’S REMITTANCES TO FEDERATION ACCOUNT
source : http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/11/the-house-of-representatives-to.html

The House of Representatives on Thursday resolved to investigate remittances by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to the federation account from 2007 to date.
This was sequel to a motion on the need to investigate JAMB remittances by Rep. Segun Adekola (Ekiti-PDP) in Abuja.
Moving the motion, the lawmaker noted that the minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, recently announced that JAMB for the first time remitted N5 billion to the coffers of the government with a balance of N3 billion yet to be remitted compared to the maximum N3 million per annum remitted in the past.
Adekola disclosed that media reports showed that between 2011 and 2015, JAMB earned at least N30 billion from registration of candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The lawmaker stressed that JAMB only remitted a meagre sum to the federal government, while within the period, it received over N2 billion yearly from the federal budget.
“The Accountant General of the federation in his response to a Freedom of Information request by a media Investigative outfit, stated that JAMB remitted N11.5 million in 2011, N25 million in 2013 and N13 million in 2014 but did not make any remittances in 2012, 2015 and 2016, respectively.’’
Adekola said that the total amount JAMB remitted to the Federation Account between 2010 and 2016 was N50.8 million, which was about one per cent of the amount the agency remitted to the federal government in 2017 alone.
He further said that “the remittance of such amount by a non-focal revenue generating agency underscores the importance of transparency in the administration and management of government business.’’
He emphasised the urgent need to beam a searchlight on other government agencies to guide against the flagrant misappropriation of public funds with a view to promoting probity in governance.
The House therefore mandated its committee on Basic Education and Services to investigate the management of the finances of JAMB from 2007 till date.
The investigation would be in relation to JAMB’s earnings from prospective candidates and remittances made to the federation account.
The committee was given six weeks within which to turn in its report for further legislative action.
NAN reports that on September 14, the federal government ordered the probe of past heads of the JAMB and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , over what it called poor remittances in the past.
Adeosun stated that the disparity in the remittances of the two agencies in the past and now, necessitated the decision to probe all previous heads of the two agencies.
The minister also disclosed that other agencies with similar discrepancies in their revenue remittances will be probed.

They have been investigating since 1999 yet there is no report or even results from those investigations.I wonder if there is need for this investigation since it will end up useless just like others.

This man called Prof. Oloyede is a man one can entrust with any leadership position. He has a very good legacy when he was the VC of UNILORIN, and he is already setting a good legacy as jamb registrar. If not for him, the corruption in jamb can't never be revealed. Imagine the margin btw 3billion he remmited and there is still more to remit and 3million jamb used to remit annual. We need a man like Oloyede in Nigeria

Only God knows what the fate of this country would have been if GEJ had continued. Life under him was like a largesse with everyone eating Nigeria's future away.

All the Ministers and Perm Secs that Dibu Ojerinde worked with must be probed coz he couldn't have embezzled such monies alone.

BTW, where are those people who protested Oloyede's appointment on the basis of religion?

Probe that won't end in anything, eye service lawmaker.

The only reason they are doing this now is to make the past & present jamb head to come & bribe them. After that we won't hear anything again

What has all their probe all this while amount to? They will even get caught up in the mess sef

Nigeria lawmakers are bunch of jokers

Now we don't know if this is truly to deal with corruption or to share in the loot. It's so difficult to trust anything coming from that assembly. I doubt if any serious thing will come out of the probe.

is Jamb supposed to be a profit making organization?

What was the position of Jamb headquarters before Dibu became the registrar and after leaving office? How many zonal and state offices were on ground before Dibu started leading jamb and now? Which state office of jamb is without CBT exam centre now? I will tell you none all built during ojerinde time as JAMB registrar. Where did he get money for those projects? I wish present jamb leadership can tell us project he has embarked on since becoming the registrar.

Do you think such capital intensive projects would have been done without FEC approval? Such spendings by Ojerinde couldn't have been done with the supposed remittances, by the way. Regarding Oloyede's projects since assumption of office, his leadership has started building additional CBT centres while equipping existing ones. At least, I saw that of the foundation laying ceremony in Abeokuta.
