JAMB TO MONITOR 2012/2013 ADMISSIONPROCESSES

Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, the Registrar of JAMB, said on Monday
that the board would soon start to monitor universities to
ensure that they complied with 2011/2012 admission
regulations.
Ojerinde made the statement when the Senate Committee on
Education visited the office of Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) in Bwari on Monday as part of
its oversight functions.
He said the 60:40 per cent ratio admission for science and
arts courses must be adhered to by the universities.
Ojerinde said although most universities attributed the delay
in admissions to fuel subsidy removal, “the board would
still monitor the admission processes.’’
He said the board would start monitoring from state
universities to ensure strict compliance with ratio and quota
regulations.
The registrar added that all applicants would soon get the
opportunity to be admitted to any Nigerian university,
although not their first or second choices.
He said this was to prevent them from staying without
admission as their courses of choice could be studied in
other universities.
Ojerinde announced that there were no more special centres
as the board had abolished all special centres since 2008.
He added that centres for examination increased from
2,872 to 3,052 in 2012 with improved security.
He said 1 per cent of the overhead cost of the board would
be devoted to buying of books, stressing that the Test
Development Unit of the board was purely academic.
Sen. Uche Chukwumerije, the Chairman of the committee,
urged the board to adhere to the timetable for admissions.
He urged the board to make judicious use of funds
allocated to it. (NAN)
