House Of Reps Asks JAMB To Extend Validity Of UTME Results To Three Years by peekspot(op): 12:40am On Jul 13, 2023

The house of representatives has asked the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to extend the validity of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) results to three years.

The lower legislative chamber also urged the board to conduct the UTME at least twice a year.

By current arrangement, result of the exam conducted by JAMB is only valid for a year.

Candidates who are unable to get admission for that year are expected to take the exam the next year to pursue their quest for tertiary education.

But moving the motion on Wednesday, Akin Rotimi, the lawmaker representing Ekiti north 1 federal constituency, asked JAMB to “rethink” the arrangement to meet global standard.

Rotimi said the move “would bring immediate relief to students and their parents/sponsors, who bear the burden of paying every year for the exam, as well as give candidates multiple windows to sit for the exam in a year”.

He argued that there is nothing in the extant act establishing JAMB that stops it from immediately carrying out the resolutions of the house on the subject.

In a statement, the lawmaker said the house also adopted a motion seeking to establish an ad-hoc committee to discuss the resolution of the house with JAMB and other and relevant authorities.

“In addition to passing my motion, the honourable house also passed a motion for an additional prayer moved by Hon. Olumide Osoba, establishing an ad-hoc committee of the house to liaise with the authorities of JAMB and the ministry of education to ensure the resolution is expeditiously carried out,” he said.

Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Oyo state, moved a similar bill during the 9th assembly.

However, the bill — which sought extension of UTME’s validity to four years — was stalled after the second reading.

Good news.

It will really go a long way to ease the burden on poor Nigerian parents.

If you are not financially ready this year,you can start early to plan for next year.

This is long overdue, I think the rep should finally put pressure on JAMB to do the dlneedful, this is what sone Europe 🇪🇺 are doing...

At least it saves money for the poor people, the only people who will be re-writing are those who have failed in their first attempt...

Just as there are advantages to this also there are demerits!

Let them check and recheck before a common ground is reached!

JAMB has been more proactive since over half a decade now and I pray more power to their elbow!
No snake dey swallow money again after President Jonathan's time!

That JAMB registrar would make a wonderful Minister for Education!

Long overdue.

Jamb seems to be only interested in money generation. I don't understand why someone will have to write Jamb multiple times even after scoring above 200 simply because the person didn't gain admission in his/her school of choice.

If the government wants to help Nigeria youth, then Jamb shouldn't include institution in their platform. Every student should write Jamb and use the result to apply to at least 10 or more Nigeria universities for a period of 3 years.

It'll only make matters worse

If you know, you know.

Instead, other exam coordinating boards should be created like in the US

Please loud it 🎤.

This is very impressive 👌
One can’t keep writing jamb every year, codedly extorting the people, Haba.

O wrong now 💁🏾‍♂️
Now, I think our legislators are beginning to wake up.
I pray this present assembly shall favour us and our families 🙏🏻

I pray they don't break your heart

That the process stalled sometimes ago doesn’t warrant us giving up.

We must keep trying to make life better and to make the world 🌎 a better place for all.

Thanks so much for your view, I perfectly understand your stand point.

Good for high scorers and bad for low scorers who narrowly escaped the ever reducing jamb cut off mark.
200last year has no way of competing with 285 this year in the admission cycle and a 320 would always have an edge..
