The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday said it remitted N7.8 billion to federal government coffers from 2016 University and Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME.


The board’s registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, made this known when a delegation from National Officers Council of Colleges of Education Academic Staff Union, COEASU, paid a visit to the board in Bwari, FCT.
Mr. Oloyede said “the board paid in N7.8 billion to Federal Government and not N5.2 billion.”

The JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, had in July said the board remitted N5.2 billion.
He said the board would work to ensure that it met the needs of the sector and strive to sustain education standard in the country.

He called for cooperation from stakeholders in the education sector to further raise standard, saying “let us work together and push government to do the needful so that education would be where it ought to be.
“When we identify obstacles, we could push government to amend some areas to enhance the sector.
“I do not see why we should have more than four credits before one can get into college of education, forgetting that it created an opportunity for people like us in the past.

“I assure you that UTME score does not determine the quality of one’s education; it is the environment that makes the difference obvious by segregating institutions.”
Mr. Oloyede challenged the officers on the need to officially make a case for the National Council of Education, which he said was made up of commissioners of education, to review the number of credits to be attained by intending candidates of colleges of education.

He said the board would not hesitate to work with unions to set up a Task Force that would check irregularities that may cripple the sub-sector.
Earlier, the President of COEASU, Nuhu Ogirima, said that the challenge had been an obstacle to admission status of colleges nationwide.
He called for review of the current application process into colleges of education, saying “a review is imperative, given the fact that the current application process predisposes candidates toward university education.
“Notwithstanding the overwhelming preference for admission into university, the provision for college of education as third choice in JAMB sought to obscure the system from others.

“After the selection of the very best from the first choice list, colleges of education are left with no choice in JAMB but the low performing candidates and this does not augur well for the teacher education system.
“The union would, therefore, appreciate if JAMB, without prejudice to her establishment law, explore the possibility of collaborating with stakeholders in colleges of education.
“The collaboration would provide enabling environment that could improve the admission status of the colleges nationwide.”

He announced that the council would soon set up a committee that would come up with memorandum to tackle the issues before the necessary quarters.
The meeting was attended by directors of the board.

2.0 bill went for miscellaneous activities

Thank you God for giving us Sai baba, we Nigerians are grateful

Sai baba till 2023

Good, unlike jamb of those days that remits jst millions.

Jamb shud be scrapped. Exploitative

If it was during the last administration, this matter would have been swept under. It is only during this regime of the amiable, incorruptible Baba that things are being exposed. In the pdp clueless era we never heard any revelations. Money was just being looted and shared in secrecy. In APC at least there are a few ones who have integrity and are ready to expose others within the government but in PDP everybody was just follow chop and clean mouth. God bless Buhari and give him more strength.

2bn looted by the kworupted cows...

Western education in Nigeria as turn money making .. Just calculate amount generated by weac and neco ( both July and November ), nabteb,jamb,ijmb... Then calculate numbers of graduates turn out yearly..then how many of them get job. Its time we divide the society into 3... So don't need higher education.

where is d remaining 2.6billion

The arguement is not between govt. and JAMB but rather a correction

These are the kind of places we should commend the government. With his predecessors remitting about 3 million, I think the government should call for the heads of previous jamb registrars, this is too much.
I can see people already abusing him for being honest, the youth on this forum need a total reorientation.
This politics of bitterness has got to stop please guys, haba.
These are the kind of people we need abstract and integrate into subsequent governments.
Our youth sha

I surprise where jamb suddenly got several billions of naira.

Oloyede is doing well.

Atleeast buhari deserve some commendations.

The rate of corruption in APC can't be compared with Abacha's ..

Thank God for tinubu. I hope he sees how well he's treating Nigeria and Nigerians

Jag abandoned Jaggabasted bastard

Youth are the prblm of diz nation , what remaining 2b has to do with buari ... Hatred make u read something else ....

U should know why they insulting. Remember last time they called him Islamic extremists just because he read Islamic Studies

Where the remaining money?

that will tell you the amount the board is making. Imagin after all expences on paying staffs, maintaining portals, and other logistices etc. They still remit that amount.

FG will never ever scrap a body like that. Its only Few govt parastatals that fetches that kind of money after expenses
