JAMB is not a test of knowledge, rather, it is a method adopted to select few students out of a multitude. (BOUBOW, 2015).

In ONDO STATE, there are three Senatorial Districts, namely;
Ondo North Senatorial District
Ondo Central Senatorial District
Ondo South Senatorial District

There are 15 JAMB Accredited Centres in Ondo State, 12 in the Central, 3 in the North and none (0) in the South.

Out of the three in the North, one(1) is in Owo, two (2) in Akungba.

The two(2) in Akungba are in Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, but they have just one Registration Centre.

The one (1) in owo is in Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo. Which means that it is temporarily not available.


NIGERIAN STUDENTS are going through lots of stress all in the name of "JAMB". Some amount should be spent to provide more accreditation centres, after all, JAMB is not free. The waste of time and risk of life should be curbed. If truly we want to develop as a nation, then we have to put all necessary mechanism of development in place.

While trying to eradicate multiple registration of students and other irregularities by creating Accredited Centres, you failed to eradicate the unlawful discrimination of "Second Choice" by 99% of our tertiary institutions. I wasn't surprised when this option (Second Choice) was removed some years ago since institutions hardly consider such option.

While there is a deadline given to institutions to complete all admission processes, little or no attention has been drawn to some institutions who are still in Academic Sessions as far back as 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 when they're supposed to be in 2017/2018 Academic Session. Due to strike and other unforseen circumstances, it's now taking longer than usual for most State/FG owned institutions in Nigeria to complete their academic sessions. These same institutions would be given another admission opportunity, this is wrong and absurd.

JAMB Direct Entry form which used to be around April was given the same date with the normal form, As a result of this, some students can't process Direct Entry Admission due to the time it will take their respective institutions to process their results. JAMB DIRECT ENTRY FORM can only be found useful if it can be obtained around April, by then most institutions would have processed their results.

I just hope and pray that things get better.
MEANWHILE, the deadline for Registration is 6th of February, 2018.
