Members of the Senate have condemned the conduct of tests for applicants by universities after the candidates had passed the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board.

The lawmakers, while debating a motion moved by Senator Umaru Kurfi (Katsina-Central) at the plenary on Tuesday, decried that candidates were finding it difficult to gain admission to Nigeria’s tertiary institutions but find it easy in other countries.

The motion was titled, ‘The Need to Revisit the Regulatory Conflict between Joint Admission and Matriculation Board and Universities in Offering Admission in Nigeria.’

Seconding the motion, Senator Shehu Sani decried that securing admission into tertiary institutions had become difficult at a time when Nigeria was struggling to protect its economy. He stated that there was the need to simplify the process of getting admission into higher institutions of learning.

He said, “JAMB has been literally ‘jamming’ the future of our young people in the sense that there have been a lot of impediments that have seriously affected their ability to get into university.

“Our concern is the fact that after JAMB (examination) is post-UTME. That becomes a series of hardships and sufferings on the way to university. The problem we are facing is peculiar to us. It is easier for a Nigerian to secure admission (into tertiary institutions) outside this country than it is here. Why should it be so?

“This is one opportunity through which this parliament can make a clear and categorical statement on the need for us to urge the Federal Government to intervene and do all that need to be done to make JAMB the only sensible, credible and efficient avenue for people to get
admission into university. This is the best option for us.”

In his submission, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND, Senator Barau Jibrin, said JAMB was performing better under the current administration. “When you talk about the efficiency or integrity of JAMB, it has improved. Yes, a few years back, things were not going fine with JAMB. But the current administration of JAMB is doing very well,” he stated.

Jibrin also stated that there was no conflict between JAMB and universities on the recent downward review of cut-off marks for entry into tertiary institutions in the country.

He said the decision to set new cut-off marks was collectively done between JAMB, universities and other stakeholders, including the Senate committee. He added that the schools were at liberty to raise the marks individually.

1>>The University of Nigeria , Nsukka , is to conduct the 2017 post-University Tertiary Matriculation Examination from Oct . 3 to Oct. 9, the Deputy Vice -Chancellor , Administration , Prof . Charles Igwe , has said .
Igwe made the disclosure in Nsukka , Enugu State , on Friday ..
He said that measures had been put in place to ensure a successful 2017 screening examination .
“Qualified candidates for the exam are those who scored 200 and above , made UNN their choice university and have registered online for the exam.
“Invigilators , supervisors as well as other personnel that will be involved have been mobilised and are ready for the exam, ” he said .
He said the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force , Department of State Services , and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps would provide security for the exercise .
“The army, police , civil defence and SSS will help to ensure adequate security as they will patrol 24 hours in UNN and Nsukka town,” he said .
Igwe said that the university would provide hostel accommodation at the cost of N 3 ,000 for two nights for candidates who have no relatives to accommodate them in Nsukka .
“The two nights include the night of the arrival for the exam and the night the candidate writes the exam.” he said .
He appealed to Nsukka residents , especially the motorists , tricycle operators and motor- cyclists to assist candidates by directing them appropriately as some of them might be coming to Nsukka for the first time.
“We should treat candidates who will come from different states across the country as our sons , daughters , brothers and sisters .
“We should be fair and assist them instead of exploiting them financially by collecting N 100 where we are supposed to collect N 50 as transport fare .
“Candidates for the exam should also conduct themselves orderly before, during and after the exam as anyone caught in any form of violence or crime will be arrested by law enforcement agents .

this interview with GBENRO ADEOYE and TUNDE AJAJA, speaks about sundry issues in the education sector.

Recently, it was in the news that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board generated N5bn in one year, which was described as unprecedented. How did you do it?

We were able to generate that because we were properly briefed by the Minister of Education (Mallam Adamu Adamu). When I was appointed, he told me clearly that he believed that JAMB should generate resources and that we should cut cost. So, right from the outset, I knew where we were going. When we resumed, what JAMB owed at the time was almost equal to the money it had, but we cut down cost. That is one. Two, we ensured the use of Information Communication Technology and this is one of the reasons why I should thank both our consultant and the National Information Technology Development Agency. We relied on NITDA to save money and we said money must come in before we talk of spending. Also, we renegotiated the terms of agreement with so many of our service providers and we told them we could not continue the way we were going. All these assisted us. But there is a campaign of falsehood in the press that my predecessor left N6.3bn in the coffers. I think those who are saying that do not know the facts. I want to believe that he himself could not have said that. He knows that not even 10 per cent of what was mentioned was in the purse of JAMB when I took over and by God’s grace, we were able to cut cost and ensure that we are transparent in everything we are doing.
What about the decision to probe your predecessor?

Government didn’t consult me before taking that decision (to probe my predecessors). If I had been consulted and if I were in a position to advice, it would have been different. I believe the period of the computer-based testing is different from when we were using paper and pencil. People have used the Federal Executive Council resolution to create panic. Everybody is afraid, including those doing business with us. But I have told them I was not interested in what they were doing before but what they did henceforth. If you have done what is right, then you have no reason to be afraid. I also believe that many people are not conscious of the fact that I started mass utilisation of CBT for examination in Nigeria as a vice-chancellor and the technology they were using was the technology I introduced. But technology has moved beyond 2007 when I introduced it. So, what we deployed also really assisted us in reducing cost and ensuring effective coordination of what we are doing. But I am not denying the fact that there was excessive leakage of funds, because many things were not done through official platforms. I think that aggravated the situation. Contrary to the propaganda that some people are using, we have not increased any of the charges that we met on ground. I think those carrying out the propaganda are the enemies of my immediate predecessor who wanted to provoke me to talk, but I will not talk.
But is JAMB supposed to be a moneymaking agency or one whose primary aim is to offer an essential service to the public?

JAMB is not supposed to be a revenue generating agency and JAMB is also not supposed to be a wasteful agency. Universities and Colleges Admissions Service in the UK is like JAMB here. UCAS does not take one pound from the government. Our colleagues in the US do not take any money from their government either. But UCAS generates 20 times of what JAMB is generating and it plows it back into the development of education. So, if we say we are not a revenue generating body, does that mean that we should waste whatever we have? We are not a revenue generating body but government pays the salaries of the staff. It should be able to pay salaries and still assist the development of the education sector and that is what we have set out to do, God willing. Some people want to distract us from our goals, by trying to instigate our staff and our suppliers, but we won’t allow that. Anything based on falsehood will crash. Some even said that there was N6bn in the account when we came in, forgetting that the Treasury Single Account is a government platform and government is aware of what was there. So why use propaganda as regards something that can be easily confirmed to be true or false? I think those people could have looked for a more intelligent thing to use for propaganda. We will continue to do what is right and I believe that is what we owe this nation.
It was recently reported that Delta State University has been charging N6,000 and its VC did not deny it, what are you doing about schools that have been charging more than the N2,000 agreed as peg for post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination?

All the ones I know about, I cautioned the VCs of the schools and they refunded the money immediately. I’m just hearing about DELSU’s case. Once there are regulations, you don’t go outside them. I have started approving candidates for DELSU and I would have to investigate that information. If the information is correct, then we cannot continue with the admission. We have approved some candidates for DELSU but I wasn’t aware of that extortion. And I want to appeal to people who have information to make the information available to us. I am going to send a query to our officer in Delta State for not informing me about this.
What are the challenges that schools have been facing with Central Admissions Processing System recently introduced by JAMB to automate schools’ admission process?

All the institutions are using it once they have their passwords. The VC of DELSU called me recently to say he was so excited when he saw the way it was working. I believe people are excited about it but they have some teething problems. Some of the institutions do not know the implication of what we are doing. For example, if the University of Ibadan says its cut-off mark is 200. It cannot come back and say it wants to admit people that scored 180. But some are now coming back to say they have what they call affiliates and that those affiliates can take less than 200. I said ‘no’ because the certificate you are going to issue to students from those affiliates will be your school’s certificate, you are not going to write College of Education, Osiele campus, for instance, on the certificates. So your standard must be your standard. While they declared openly a particular cut-off mark, they are now putting pressure on JAMB to allow their affiliates, to which the certificates of their institution will be issued, to admit below that cut-off mark. That is the problem we have now. Some want to use a cut-off mark that is less than what was declared and I said no, they have to wait till next year before they declare something else. This year, what you have declared is your cut-off mark and it applies not only to the main campus but all your affiliates and campuses that will be issued the certificate of that institution. I’m having that problem presently with the University of Ibadan. You have said your cut-off mark is 200, anybody that is taking the certificate of the school for degree must be admitted based on that cut-off mark. Some schools are even saying, they want to reduce cut-off marks for their remedial courses, diploma students, but I said ‘no’. If you knew you were going to use 160, you should have said your cut-off was 160. You cannot say your cut-off mark is 200 and then start writing to JAMB that for those who did your diploma, you want to use something else. Those who did your diploma are supposed to perform better in the examination. They are not supposed to perform badly. Even for educationally disadvantaged areas, you cannot use below what you have declared. Many of them are calling me to say that CAPS is rejecting some candidates. Of course, once it is less than your declared cut off mark, it will reject it. The advantages of CAPS are that it is more transparent, cost effective, saves time and makes the candidate a strong factor. Now, you don’t impose courses on the candidates because they have a say in the admission process. In the past, schools would just recommend people on the basis of their UTME scores, but now, no more. You must first of all ascertain that they have O-level results. That is a major policy shift.
If schools admit candidates based on wrong information that is put in CAPS and come to JAMB for regularisation later, what will happen?

You will see what will happen. There will be outcry because the students cannot go for the National Youth Service Corps programme and cannot secure employment with the certificates. We’re linking up with so many things. The students will have to shout at the appropriate time because they will be totally disadvantaged as their certificates will be useless to them. We are taking steps to make sure that once you are a product of a tertiary education system in Nigeria, there will be so many checks and that is why we asked them to declare what their senates or academic boards want. The days of doing anything under the table are over.
Some Nigerians are still enraged by the reduction of cut-off marks for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, supposedly bringing down the standard of education in the country.

It is either those who are saying that we are lowering standards do not understand the issues or what we are doing. They have forgotten that some candidates do not take UTME at all and we admit them through Direct Entry. These people get to the universities legitimately but have zero in UTME. So, my point is that JAMB’s UTME is a ranking examination and not a qualifying examination. The qualifying examinations are the West African Senior School Certificate Examination and the National Examination Council’s senior school certificate examination. To show you that WASSCE and NECO exams are the qualifying examinations, if a candidate scores 10 in UTME but passed WASSCE, he can go to Ghana and get admission into a university. But if he doesn’t pass O-level, he cannot go anywhere. We conduct what they call ‘one chance examination’. This means that it is done just once. If you had a fight with your wife on the day of the exam or you were late to the hall, it could affect your performance. That is unlike WASSCE and NECO exams which are taken over a period of time and would have Part 1, Part 2 and so on. You can see that is achievement examination because they are evaluating the capacity of the student. But when you have fewer vacancies than applicants, we conduct what is called ranking examination. The UTME is just to rank them so everyone will know that there was fairness in giving them the positions. So UTME is not a qualifying examination but over the years in Nigeria, like so many things we have got wrong, people have forgotten that it is a ranking examination. Hence, there is no pass or failure in a ranking examination because the purpose is to rank them to know how many will fill the spaces available. But if you have spaces for all of them, then there is no need for UTME. The essence of conducting the exam is not to determine whether they are qualified or not. That has been done by NECO and WAEC. And that is why we exclude some, like those who have diploma. We grade them based on their diploma results. So, it is because people have not done deep reflection on the issue. Most of these children that we are closing the gate against, it is not that they are not qualified but because there is no enough space and because their parents are poor. If they were not poor, nowhere outside this country will ask you for UTME result. But even in the last 10 years in Nigeria, we have not filled 70 per cent of our quota. I have the data.
Why then do we hear that universities, for instance, have no more capacity for admission?

It is not true. I have the statistics and I am telling you that at no time in the last 10 years have we filled 70 per cent of the available quota. When I say available quota, I mean as fixed by the National Universities Commission, National Board for Technical Education and National Commission for Colleges of Education. They are the ones that determine the capacity of each institution. What I am saying is that when you look at the average, you will find out that all the universities, polytechnics and colleges of education have never taken more than 70 per cent of their quota. Some institutions even admit just 20 per cent of their quota.
Why is that?

It is simple. There is a mismatch. The policies recommend that 60 per cent (admission) generally, and in some cases, 70 per cent must be sciences in conventional universities and 30 per cent humanities, but the school system produces the reverse – 70 per cent humanities and 30 per cent sciences. Two, you’re talking about 1.7 million candidates who sat for UTME, but they are not 1.7 million qualified candidates. Many of them are awaiting their O-level results. So, when you choose a cut-off mark, those who scored high in UTME, 30 per cent of them will not have O-level results and therefore cannot be admitted. Some of them will have high scores in UTME and O-level but can still not be admitted due to problems of subject combination in their UTME. For example, if you want to study computer science in UNILAG, you must take the subjects required by the school in UTME.
Based on allegations, was the policy borne out of an agenda to favour the North and bring education standard down to the level of the region?

This is absolutely not true. Nobody asked the University of Ibadan, University of Lagos or Usmanu Danfodiyo University in Sokoto to lower their cut-off points. Indeed, Bayero University, Kano raised its cut-off mark this year. People are calling for restructuring, but they are now running away from it. UNILAG will tell you it doesn’t take below 200 and UNILORIN will not take 179, it is no problem.

Founder of Afe Babalola University, Chief Afe Babalola, described the lowering of cut-off scores as a major setback for quality education in Nigeria.

Yes, I also read it in the newspaper that he said he would not take it. But nobody offered ABUAD 120 as cut-off score. So you cannot reject what you were not offered. With due respect to him, it is like me discussing common law with him. So, he cannot contest this issue with me because he is a casual commentator on the matter. I pay 100 per cent attention to this just as he pays attention to law. If today, ABUAD wants to admit anybody that scored 140, it can’t because we have collected their cut-off scores from all of them. UNILAG cannot admit someone that scored 190 today because it has given us its cut-off scores below which it cannot go. But you cannot now say that because ABUAD in Ado-Ekiti cannot take 120, a candidate that wants to study NCE Hausa Education or NCE Yoruba Education at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gusau or another school, must score 180 or 160. If only four candidates applied and the four of them scored about 140, are you saying we should leave the classroom vacant? How many people can afford to pay the money being charged by private universities? There are people who are telling us to put a peg on the amount private universities can charge, that they should not be allowed to charge more than N1m. But if we make that kind of autocratic pronouncement, will Chief Afe Babalola not shout? He wants me to impose high marks on people but if we regulate fees, will he not shout? Where he has an advantage, it is good. How can somebody accuse me of lowering standard? It is not possible. I am not a shoddy person; I am for equity and fairness. I am for autonomy of universities and other institutions. Their right to determine the students they will admit rests in senate and the academic boards and the existence of JAMB cannot rob them of that right.

What is it about restructuring that you mentioned?

We are democratising the process by returning the right to admit to the senate of the various universities. The laws establishing these universities stipulate that their senate will determine their admission

This is quite heartbreaking. A young lady identified as Chinonso from Mbano in Imo State and a resident of Abuja – has left her family and friends in sorrow following her tragic demise. The young lady was journeying to Awka, Anambra State to sit for her Post UTME Examination in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka UNIZIK when she met her end on Sunday September 24th 2017.

It was gathered that she had a fatal accident along Kogi road, while she was in one “IFESINACHI BUS”approaching South East. She was among the two people who died, along side one man, while others were rushed to the hospital.

May her soul rest in peace.

1>>​The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has disclosed that it would demand for the records of Ordinary and Advanced Level results of candidates recommended by tertiary institutions before offering them admission.
This was disclosed by the JAMB boss, Ishaq Oloyede during the meeting on admissions exercise/processes for Innovative Enterprise Institutions in Abuja on Tuesday.
The registrar said that institutions must maintain the standard set by the board beginning from this year’s admission.
”From this year now, we are demanding records of the O levels of the candidates you are admitting and that is for the first time,” Mr. Oloyede said.
“When you recommend a person for admission we want to see what qualification he or she possesses not just you telling me that he or she scored 300 in UTME. What of the real qualification?” he said.
He said the board would stop the ”regularisation of all forms of illegal admissions conducted by tertiary institutions from this year.”
“Any admission ‘done under the table’ would not be regularised. Candidates and tertiary institutions must desist from engaging in any form of illegal admission. Illegal admission in terms of people not even taking the unified tertiary matriculation examination, UTME at all not to talk of scoring zero. Illegal admission by even admitting people who do not have the requisite ordinary level (O level) because before now JAMB does not have the record of their O level (results).” He emphasized

16 Year Old Dies After Passing JAMB And Post-JAMB Screening For Medicine (Photos)

naijaolofofo.com

Sep 22, 2017 11:39 AM



A Nigerian teenager who definitely had a bright future ahead of him has tragically lost his life after a brief illness.

16-year-old student, Mubarak Razak reportedly lost his life just after passing both the JAMB exams and Post-UTME with flying colours.

Razak applied to study Medicine and Surgery at the University of Ilorin in the Post-UTME screening before the unfortunate incident.

The news which was shared with StellaDimokokorkus reads:-

The person in subject was a close relation of mine, his name was Mubarak Razak by name and 16 years.

He applied for Medicine and Surgery at University of Ilorin after being denied admission last year when he applied for Anatomy scoring 206 in UTME, immediately after graduating in a private secondary school in Ilorin, Kwara state.

He then struggled to have a better UTME score this year and passed POST-JAMB excellently scoring 72% when he suddenly died after a brief illness last week Saturday night.

He was survived by 3 siblings, his father, a civil servant(Mr Razak Owolabi) and Mother,a government school teacher (Mrs Aminat Razak).

I just taught I should share this story because to me he left an indelible mark in this world, he was a nice, quiet boy and so young. And I believe that it’s not how far you go in life but how well.

The first picture is during his school graduation

See his results below:-

Some people dont steal because its their culture but because of hunger I think the church should understand better, why parade the woman for the world to see? she is probably hungry why not get to know how they can help her so that she doesn't steal outside and probably loose her life

it should be a big shame to the church if that woman is arrested.

where is the place of love and kindness in the house of God

my question is phone food?
can she go and steal in the shrine?
if she is hungry why not meet the residence Pastor,
stealing is not allowed, let call a spade a spade

Do Not Conduct Post UTME Exams: FG Tells Varsities
News – eUniben.com / Admin / 2 days ago



Just a few weeks back, after the supposed lift on the Ban placed on the use of Exams as Post UTME Screening exercise for Applicants into Varsities and higher institutions of Learning, there has been so much anticipation and preparations.

In many locations near Universities, lecture centers have sprung up virtually overnight to tutor and prepare the applicants for the exams. The development was welcomed by many who saw it as a better standard which offers a level playing ground for all candidates giving only the qualified the opportunity into the schools.

In response to the development, several schools have fixed dates for the screening exams to be conducted, while some have even conducted exams for Candidates.

But in a sudden twist of events, amid the anticipation, the Federal Government through the Ministry of Education has come forth stating that, the ban remains and as such, any Institution concerned is not permitted to conduct exams as a means of granting admission to POST-UTME applicants.

According to the Ministry of Education, only the Jamb Scores as well as the Certificate of Applicants should be used as the means of Admission Requirements.

This implies that, all Clearing and Screening Exercise will only include the verification of Certificates of Candidates, Jamb Score, as well as other physical examinations. Any Candidate who meets up with these requirements is qualified for Admission into any University.

In order to clear any doubts, the Minister of Education, Mr. Adamu Adamu himself reiterated FG’s stand on the situation, stating that, the clearance should be done at no cost on the applicants.

Meanwhile, the Uniben POST UTME Exams which was scheduled to begin on the 14th of September has been postponed indefinitely. The cause of the sudden postponement was not stated though.

Efforts by the Ayodele Fayose-led administration in Ekiti State to reposition the education sector have again yielded positive results as the state retained her first position in the National Examinations Council secondary leaving examinations conducted by the body for 2017.
The good news was broken in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday by the State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose while meeting with retirees at the Government House, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi.
Recall that the state came first in the same examinations in 2016 among the 36 states in the country.
Also, going by available data, the state is set to also improve significantly in her position in the West African Examinations Council.
“Our efforts in the education sector are yielding positive results, we have retained our first and leading position in this year’s NECO examinations. Last year we came first and we have done it again.
” I am promising the people of the state that we are going to maintain that leading position throughout my tenure and it will continue by the grace of God when my deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka takes over from me.
” Apart from being diligent, he is the one supervising the education sector and I am proud of his commitment to duty and I am assuring you that with him in the saddle, things would get better.
“When I first came to office in 2003, the sector was in bad shape and we organised the first Education Summit and we moved from number 34 in the federation to seven and first in the Sourh-West. I came back again to meet it in a bad state and we took some steps and here we are.
” Last year when we came first, some critics who would not see anything good in other people said we reaped from what our predecessor left. Now we have proved them wrong.
“We are the first when it comes to the motivation of teachers and assisting them with teaching aids and materials. No state celebrates teachers like we do during the annual Teachers’ Day,” he said.

[quote author=yasmina85 post=60454983]My BF and I have been together fo years (6+). We both have good jobs, we're both well in our 30s, I think we love each other (I sure do) and we get along fine.

3 years ago, he wanted me to move in but I said no, not before marriage.
Since then, it's been the status quo. We spend time together either at his place or mine.
When I bring up going to my father he deflects with something like "don't worry, it's coming"; "I'll go when I'm ready, be patient"...

Last year, I got mad and sort of gave him an ultimatum.He said he would but was still draging his feet.
I became bitter, he felt over pressured and we started fighting and arguing for everything.
We eventually broke up and spent almost a year appart. He came back 6 months ago and things are like when we first met

The problem is, I feel like for him, it's a whole new relationship and we have to let it mature like any new RS.
For me, we just took up where we left so we've been dating long enough. He either commit or leave me alone.

I don't want to lose him but I can't do this anymore. I really don't know why he can't bring himself to at least do the door knocking.

Please what can I do ??

my advice to u is simple and it works like magic

follow this step
step 1.
invite the boy over tell him u have important issues to discuss with him, or if the boy refuse to come u go and meet him
step 2.
when u guys are together u make it spiritual, u tell him let us pray
step 3.
u tell him we have been dating for six good years now and u no am not getting any younger I just want to know how far?
is better he love and he don't what to loose your relationship he don't know whether if he purpose to he will loose your friendship or he don't have u in mind.

so place a value on yourself babe
