  • University autonomy comes with responsibilities – JAMB Registrar

    University autonomy comes with responsibilities – JAMB Registrar

    Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says granting full autonomy to  universities comes with accountability and responsibility for sustainable development.

    Oloyede said this in Nsukka on Thursday while delivering a lecture titled; “Institutional Autonomy, Accountability and the Quest for Efficient Governance of Nigerian Universities”.

    The lecture was in honour of Prof. Benjamin Chukwuma Ozumba, the 14th and former Vice Chancellor of UNN, to mark his retirement from the university service and his 70th birthday.

    He said that discourse on University autonomy and accountability had become complicated in recent years given that diverse opinions of  segments of society had developed different notions of what these would be to universities.

    “It is in the interest of every nation to protect both academic freedom and institutional autonomy in the universities for improved productivity in research and innovation.

    “Critical questions must be asked on how universities have been able to utilise the money given to them in the interest of the country’s education and economic development.

    “Universities must know that they have the responsibility of quality teaching, research and community service as well as proffering solutions to critical national issues and been accountable to government,” he said.

    The JAMB boss urged government and the university to enumerate their responsibilities to each other rather than undue emphasis on rights.

    “It should also understand that no right is absolute, this will facilitate their genuine understanding and management of expectations.

    “Universities should actively engage in peer-review and self-regulatory measures toward quality assurance and accountability,” he said.

    According to him  some African countries such as Ghana and Kenya, visitation panels are constituted by the universities themselves for review and improvement in service-delivery and accountability.

    He explained that if accountability annual report and community service should be efficiently deployed it would  further assure the public and  government of the commitment of the university to high ethical standards and excellence

    Ozumba in his valedictory lecture titled “The Role of Tertiary Institution in Nation Building :My Experience in University of Nigeria.

    Ozumba said that all nations that werey  doing well in the world like US, UK, China among others focused seriously on education by providing their citizens with cheap and accessible education.

    “The great asset to nation building is human capital development which can only be achieved through education,” he said.

    Ozumba urged government to always be determined to make adequate provision for effective funding of education in all annual budget.

    “Government should endeavour to earmark 26 per cent of the total budget for educational development as recommended by the United Nations.

    “The government can decide to adopt our innovation templates and leadership style which repositioned UNN as a towering centre of learning and skill development centre.

    The former VC thanked Oloyede for delivering a lecture in his honour, also thanked Sen Nwoye for coming to grace the occasion as well as all who came from far and near to witness his last day in civil service

    He said he was happy and excited in retirement because  the university recorded many achievements under his watch, also many people who worked with me during my tenure as VC in UNN are occupying top positions now as well as being VCs of many universities.

    In his remarks, Prof. Charles Igwe, the Vice-chancellor of UNN commended the JAMB registrar for delivering the lecture in honour of Prof Ozumba’s retirement from civil service and described the topic of the lecture as  topical.

    “The topic of this special lecture is an interesting and topical one considering that the issue of university autonomy is one of the most interesting, misunderstood and controversial policy as far as education is concerned in the country,” he said.

    Igwe said Ozumba, a former Provost College of Medicine UNN and VC of the university, recorded many achievements as the 14th Vice-chancellor of the UNN as the university would forever remain grateful to him.

    In his remarks, Sen Tony Nwoye  representing Anambra North Senatorial District described Ozumba as a Father and role model to many people.

    “That I am a Medical Doctor now is as a result of his fatherly advice to me,” he said.

    Nwoye said that UNN as the first university in the country needed N20b intervention from the Federal Government to upgrade infrastructures, boost teaching and learning.

    “I will make this request in the floor of Senate, I ask my friend the JAMB registrar to help tell the presidency for this intervention,” he said.

    The highlight of the occasion was cutting of Ozumba’s retirement and 70th birthday cake.

  • JAMB sends important message to 2024 UTME candidates

    JAMB sends important message to 2024 UTME candidates

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has urged candidates sitting for the 2024 Mock-UTME scheduled to hold on March 7, to come into the examination hall with ordinary HP pencil for numerical analysis if they so desire.

    This clarification became necessary following the series of enquiries from candidates and the general public regarding whether HP pencils are permitted in the examination hall as a writing material.

    This is contained in a statement made available to newsmen by the Board’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin in Abuja on Wednesday.

    “It should be noted that the Board had hitherto prohibited the use of pencils and other banned materials in view of the nefarious ends that these materials are put.

    “The Board has, however, okayed the use of ordinary HP pencil during the upcoming Mock-UTME and the main examination scheduled to commence on Friday, April 19.

    “Consequently, candidates are urged to note that they are to come with only one pencil to their respective examination centres as specified while ensuring that they are not in possession of any other prohibited items,” he said.

  • JAMB told to extend registration period by two weeks

    JAMB told to extend registration period by two weeks

    The Joint Admission Matriculation Board, (JAMB) has been told  to extend the registration for the  2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, examination by two weeks.

    This appeal came from the lower chamber of the country’s National Assembly

    The House also mandated the relevant Committee on Education and Legislative Compliance to enforce strict compliance.

    The decision of the House was sequel to the adoption of a motion moved at plenary on Thursday by Bello Shinkafi.

    Shinkafi said the 2024 UTME which commenced on 15th January ended on 26th February 2024.

    The lawmaker noted, “We are all aware of the painful economic situation prevailing in the Country. As a result, many families have been constrained from registering their wards, by this timeline.”

    He expressed worry that without an extension of the registration, many candidates would not be able to register and participate in the exercise, saying that means there would not be wide coverage and participation in this year’s UTME in Nigeria.

    Shinkafi added: “Convinced that your quick response to the extension of time by two weeks will encourage the Parents of these candidates to persistently register their children. Importantly this will re-assure the public of the confidence in this current Administration in Nigeria.”

    The House resolved: “House to mandate the JAMB to extend the registration for two weeks to enable the anticipated potential candidates to register for the 2024 UTME.”

  • Govt distributes free JAMB forms in Ekiti

    Govt distributes free JAMB forms in Ekiti

    No fewer than 3,000 candidates have benefitted from Ekiti State free Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) e-pin forms in the State.

    Wife of Ekiti State Governor, Mrs Olayemi Oyebanji, stated this during the distribution of the free JAMB forms to 3,000 candidates on Monday in Ado-Ekiti.

    According to her, Ekiti State government has expended nothing less than N20 million for the procurement of the JAMB forms for the candidates.

    She said the annual event was a golden opportunity for the beneficiaries to pass the examination with good results that would enable them undertake their desired courses in higher institutions of their choice.

    She reiterated the state government’s commitment to free and compulsory Education programmes through the payment of the West Africa School Certificate Examination fees, parameter fencing of Educational facilities to ensure adequate security among others.

    “It is of note that the Ekiti State government cares for all, the youth and the old. As the government continually embarks on the renovation of buildings in the 912 primary Schools, 200 secondary schools and the three special schools to provide access to friendly learning environment, capacity building for teachers to ensure that students receive sound education,” Oyebanji added.

    Earlier in her address, the Commissioner for Education, Dr Kofoworola Aderiye, charged the students to avoid all distractions capable of stopping them from passing their examinations and choosing courses where their strength lies.

    Also, in her welcome address, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Dr Folakemi Olomojobi, appreciated the commitment of Ekiti State government in ensuring that Ekiti indigenes of school-going age enjoy access to education.

    She enjoined the candidates to reciprocate the gesture of the Oyebanji-led government by scoring well in the JAMB examination.

    In their goodwill messages, stakeholders, including, the Chairman, House committee on Education, Mr Jacob Awoniyi, the Commissioner for Information, Mr Taiwo Olatubosun, the Chairman, State Universal Basic  Education, Prof. Femi Akinwumi, among others, called on the state committee on Adult Education to organise coaching classes for the students while the beneficiaries should be careful in filling the forms in order not to make wrong subject combinations.

    One of the beneficiaries, Ajide Ifeoluwa, promised, on behalf of others, that they would reciprocate the gesture with good results to encourage the government to do more.

  • Senior staff slams N150m suit against JAMB

    Senior staff slams N150m suit against JAMB

    Mr Yisa Usman, a Deputy Director with Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has filed a N150 million suit against the board over alleged unlawful dismissal.

    Usman, in the suit marked: NICN/ABJ/266/2023 and filed by his lawyer, Oseini Bamigbaye from the Chambers of Mohammed Shuaibu, at the National Industrial Court, Abuja, sought nine reliefs.

    While Usman is the claimant, JAMB is the sole defendant in the case dated and filed Sept. 29, 2023.

    The claimant is praying the court to declare that the constitution of the Board’s Directorate Staff Disciplinary Committee set up by the office was wholly irregular, illegal, null and void for failure to comply with Article 3.5.4 of the Board’s Staff Manual and Conditions of Service.

    He is also praying the court to declare that the composition of the committee, mostly consisting of the board’s registrar and other directors who were beneficiaries of infractions exposed by him “in Item No. 6, Page 5 of his response dated April 3, 2023, to the query issued on March 31, 2023, is unconstitutional,null and void.”

    He premised his argument on the grounds that his right to fair hearing could not have been guaranteed before the committee.

    Usman is equally urging the court to declare that “the claimant’s purported dismissal by the defendant without the consideration of the Committee’s Report by the defendant’s board is unlawful, illegal null and void.”

    The claimant, who sought an order setting aside his “purported dismissal” by the board, prayed the court for an order reinstating him “to his position with full entitlements, benefits and perks due to him by virtue of his position.”

    He sought “an order granting to the claimant all the salaries, allowances, perks due to him or that would have been due to him but for the purported dismissal.

    “An order compelling the defendant to promote the claimant as the Director of Finance and Account, being the most senior and qualified director in the Finance Department; the current Director of Finance and Account (DFA), having been holding that office illegally since May 9, 2022, when he turned 60 years old.

    “Exemplary damages in the sum of N150, 000, 000.00(one hundred and fifty million naira) for illegally and unlawful dismissing the claimant as well as the emotional, reputational, psychological pain and trauma caused by the malicious, illegal, and arbitrary actions of the defendant.

    “The cost of this action including reasonable cost to cover solicitor’s fees.”

    In his statement of material facts, Usman averred that he joined JAMB in Sept  11, 1997 as an Accountant II and rose to the position of deputy director after receiving several promotions in the board.

    He said at the time of the dismissal, he was in his eight years as deputy director in federal service and next in line to be the DFA.

    He said his professional education, training, experience, and personal principles “shaped him as an accountable, honest, transparent, efficient, and anti-corruption individual who cannot tolerate any form of infractions and always speak up against them.”

    According to him, this nature resulted in conflicts with the management of the board, as he is seen as an obstacle that needs to be removed

    He said his commitment to due process and aversion to corrupt practices led him to lodge complaints to the management of JAMB, the Head of Service, the EFCC, ICPC and the office of the Permanent Secretary Federal Ministry of Education about financial interactions in the board.

    Usman said unfortunately, these actions did not sit well with the board’s management, particularly its Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede.

    It was observed that no fewer than 33 letters, exhibited in the court documents, were written by the claimant to different government agencies in his efforts to blow the whistle on various infractions, violations of due process, laws, and civil service rules against the board in relation to procurement, bookkeeping and employment regulations.

    Against this background, Usman averred that he suffered continuous transfers despite his constant pleas due to his physical and health issues.

    According to him, within a period of five years, the claimant was maliciously transferred from Abuja to Kogi to Kaduna and then to Port Harcourt and back to Kaduna, despite his physical challenges and the distance from his family.

    He alleged that the purpose of these transfers was to remove him from important core activities of the board and prevent him from raising concerns about any notable infractions.

    Besides, he said that in the bid to shut him down, a trumped up charge was filed against him at Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja.

    “Despite all these challenges, the claimant diligently and commendably performed his duties and responsibilities,” he said

    Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae adjourned the matter until March 11 for further mention due to non-representation of JAMB in court when the matter came up on Monday.

    The judge also directed that a hearing notice be issued and served on the defendant against the next adjourned date.

    The police had, on June 14, 2023, arraigned Usman before Justice Nkeonye Maha of a FHC on allegations bordering on threatening Mrs Raheemat Oloyede on the phone with the intent to blackmail her husband, Prof. Ishaq, the JAMB’s registrar, among other counts.

    But Usman’s lawyer notified the FHC court, when parties returned to court, that while the trial was still ongoing, his client was dismissed when parties ought to respect and submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the court and maintained a status quo pending the hearing and determination of the charge.

  • The creeping celebration of vanity: The JAMB question – By Owei Lakemfa

    The creeping celebration of vanity: The JAMB question – By Owei Lakemfa

    MY experience in highbrow Asokoro on Friday, January 19, 2024 was like a nightmare. I had an important appointment and I felt comfortable I was going to be some 40 minutes early.

    Then it happened: blocked roads in the narrow streets. That was when it dawned on me this was the day the Supreme Court delivered its verdict on gubernatorial elections in some eight states.

    Now, Asokoro is where the Governors have their lodges in the nation’s capital, and some with their supporters had blocked the roads.

    I was, like many motorists, trapped, but just when I thought I had extricated myself, the worse happened: Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule and his supporters were celebrating further down, and the road was completely blocked.

    There was no escape.

    While they celebrated in Abuja, there were protests and bonfires in the state. At the end of the wild celebrations, Governor Sule told the press at the Presidential Villa that those protesting in his state were just “1,000 people (who) are protesting somewhere”.

    He told them “… the Supreme Court is the ultimate and is the final, and those who appreciate or respect democracy should leave it right there because protests or no protest will not change anything; the Supreme Court has already passed its judgement”.

    In other climes, a man who is to govern a populace divided by votes, would not attack his perceived opponents, rather, he would sue for peace and seek reconciliation.

    Yes, there is no appeal after the Supreme Court has spoken, but it is also a court of human beings who can be fallible. That the Supreme Court rules in a governor’s favour does not warrant him telling a section of the populace to go to hell.

    Three days before, there was another celebration of vanity. Five volumes of a book: Muhammadu Buhari: The Nigerian Legacy (2015 – 2023), and a sixth book by one of his assistants, were launched with fun fare.

    Compared to the pre-Buhari days, Nigeria is like a battle field in ruins with hunger and suffering across the country, factories shut, dreams shattered, kidnapping becoming a booming industry and the local currency on sale in the streets.

    Yet, the chief architect and his chorus boys and girls choose this precise moment, and Abuja – where kidnappers are executing children whose parents are unable to pay ransom – to celebrate their inglorious days in office.

    While Nigerians are in pains and many families are weeping, the Buharists are celebrating their inanity and gross incompetence.

    To paraphrase Nyesome Wike’s lyrics: ‘As he dey pain us, he dey sweet dem’.

    Yes, as Nigerians are in pains, the Buhari gang is celebrating.

    But no matter how many volumes of falsehood they write and publish, it will not change history which has shown that since independence, the Buhari times have been the worst.

    This celebration of vanity by the most inept and most incompetent, is essentially a distraction. But like the Holy Book says: vanity upon vanity, is vanity.

    It is this exploitation of celebrating vanity that led19-year-old Miss Mmesoma Joy Ejikeme to forge her Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, scores in the 2023 examination.

    She had four times checked her results on the JAMB portal. Each time she received the same results in her phone showing that she scored an aggregate 249. But she wanted to exploit the euphoria that goes on about the highest scorer in the examinations which usually includes public financial donations and offers of scholarship by state governments and private citizens.

    So she doctored her result and awarded herself 362 marks- two higher than the actual highest scorer.

    When JAMB set the records straight, she challenged the examination body and in the process created a contentious and fractious national debate which dragged in the National Assembly, the Anambra State Government and the general public.

    This whole controversy would not have arisen had the country not been enmeshed in unnecessary controversy over who, or what state produces the highest scorer in the examination.

    When JAMB and media executives held a stakeholders meeting in Lagos on January 14, 2024, this issue and what can be done, inevitably cropped up.

    JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Olarewaju Oloyede, addressed the national malaise of what he called the “Highest Score Syndrome (and the ) Aberration of premature celebration of UTME Score”.

    He said: “JAMB believes it is better to celebrate highest ranked candidates after all other variables are added…Candidates who apply for the UTME do not necessarily possess the required qualifications as a prerequisite for the examination.”

    He clarified that the purpose of the UTME examination is not to test the ability of individual candidates in isolation, but to “rank the available candidates in each batch”.

    He explained that there are two types of examinations: the Criterion-Referenced Test, a qualifying examination with a pass mark in which each candidate is assessed against a pre-determined standard. The other one, which JAMB is based, is a ranking examination in which there is no fail or pass mark and the availability of space, determines where the line is drawn.

    Given this, it is vainglorious to mark success in JAMB examinations as the candidate with the highest score may not be admitted if, amongst other things, he has no basic qualification or does not even meet the minimum age requirements.

    An editor asked if Mmesoma who, having lost at least a session, has not been punished enough which may require JAMB lifting the three-year suspension on her. Professor Oloyede thinks that she is actually lucky not to have been sent to prison.

    The Mmesoma case does not mark the introduction of vanity into the university system.

    In the late 1970s there was a vice chancellor who ranked his local traditional title as high as his professorship.

    In public outings, he would announce his name, follow up with his traditional title, including the name of his town and end with: “…and by the Grace of God, the Vice Chancellor, University of…”

    What JAMB is teaching us is to lay emphasis on substance not the vainglorious.

    It is also demonstrating this and how public institutions can be relevant by ever extending services to the public.

    This includes making relevant books available free on-line and supporting people with disabilities by issuing for free, application documents to all categories of people with such challenges.

    Also, in order to provide a level playing field for all candidates, it is providing all blind candidates audio books.

    These may seem like common sense, but it is not common with governance.

    If it were, those who have brought the country down to its knees would not take centre stage revelling over their tragic rule like a rapist celebrating a conquest.

  • Philanthropist distributes free JAMB forms in Katsina

    Philanthropist distributes free JAMB forms in Katsina

    A Katsina based philanthropist and stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Tukur Tingilin, has distributed 300 JAMB forms to indigent candidates in Malumfashi and Kafur Local Government Areas of the state.

    Tingilin, who also sponsored 50 students for the National Examination Council (NECO), made this known in an interview in Katsina on Monday.

    Tingilin, who is the Managing Director of the Katsina State Water Board Corporation, said the gesture was aimed at promoting scholarship by making the beneficiaries become productive members of the society.

    “The gesture is to also to complement the effort of the state government in education, and also prepare the youths to compete with others across the globe.

    “Apart from the JAMB forms, we have organised training for them, especially on computer literacy which exposed them to computer based examinations.

    “We have put the necessary measures to ensure that they passed the examination and also secure admission in various universities of their choice,” he said.

    “Those that cannot afford to pay their school fees after securing the admission, we would pay for them.

    “By next year, through the support of Gov. Dikko Radda, we are hoping to pay for more students that performed better in public examinations,” Tingilin said.

    The philanthropist also disbursed N5,000 each to 975 under privileged residents of the areas, and provided blankets to Almajiris across some selected Tsangaya (Islamiya) schools in the area.

    According to him, the gesture is initiated by Zanna Foundation, in collaboration with Ash-Shifa Social Development and Health Awareness Group, aimed at promoting self sustainability.

    On his part, Gov. Dikko Radda lauded the groups, describing the intervention as a welcome development, because it is one of the areas his administration has prioritised.

    Radda explained that with such initiatives, the APC does not need to go for any campaign during future elections in the state.

    He therefore challenged other politicians in the state to emulate such gestures to earn more support from their people.

     

  • 2024 UTME: Candidates share experience as JAMB registration begins

    2024 UTME: Candidates share experience as JAMB registration begins

    Some candidates registering for 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have expressed satisfaction at the easy process of the exercise.

    Some of the candidates, who spoke on Monday in Ibadan, said the registration had been seamless.

    One of the candidates, Temiloluwa Erogbogbo, said the registration process was not difficult at all.

    “Once you can generate your code you just buy your form and fill it out immediately.

    “Usually you can fill it from home, like my sister, she did hers at home and has been sent her code from our house.

    “But I am just getting mine because I am not very sure that I would register today or tomorrow but I just got my code too,” she said.

    Also, her sister Ebunoluwa Erogbogbo, who had initiated the registration process on Sunday, said they came to one of the JAMB-accredited centres to complete the registration process.

    Another candidate, Adebisi Raheem, said though the registration process was not hard, lamented having repeat writing UTME for the third time.

    “The first one, I scored 200 plus as well as the second attempt; I wanted to study medicine but I have changed it to nursing owing to the cut-off mark.

    “I have registered for this year already and it was easy. I paid N6,200 without mock but those registering and would like to do mock are paying N7,700,” Raheem said.

    Speaking at the JAMB Ibadan Zonal Office, the Zonal Coordinator, Mr Olugbenga Akintola, said the examination body had made adequate arrangements for a seamless registration process.

    Akintola said that there had been no bombardment of the agency’s system, adding that some of the candidates had already bought their pin some days back.

    He said that there had been no complaints from any centres as to any glitch in the registration process.

    He conducted a reporter round the registration points right from where the pin would be purchased to checking of candidates’ information to uploading of their O’levels to payment and registration point manned by JAMB officials.

  • JAMB releases 747 CBT centres for 2024 UTME

    JAMB releases 747 CBT centres for 2024 UTME

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has certified 747 Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres for the 2024 UTME exercise scheduled to begin  on Monday.

    The board made this know in a Bulletin issued in Abuja by the Board’s Public Communication Advisor(PAC), Dr Fabian Benjamin.

    The board had shortlisted 907 CBT centres for accreditation, but at the conclusion of revalidation and integrity tests, it was only able to certify 747 centres for the 2024 UTME exercise.

    A close monitor of the registration at some various CBT centres in the FCT and its environs, revealed that candidates were seen in their number at the various centres visited.

    Some of the candidates who shared their experiences, said the registration was seamless while others said otherwise.

    At the Future Gate CBT centre in One-Man village, a candidate, Chinaza Onuegbu, who expressed worry over his inability to register, said he was directed to register in another centre without any reason.

    Onuegbu, however, said that on another thought, he went back to request why he won’t be allowed to register but was told to come back tomorrow with his JAMB profile code, which as he has not gotten.

    “I was at the Future Gate to register for my Direct Entry but was not allowed to register. I was told to go to another CBT centre if I can be allowed.

    “I moved to another centre within that vicinity but was told to go back to the Future Gate to resolve any problem I am having.

    “Immediately I got back to Future Gate centre, I met someone who told me to bring my profile code but I could not produce it because I really don’t understand what it means.

    “I was however asked to go home and get my profile code and then bring it tomorrow so that I can be registered.

    At the Global Learning Institute, opposite the Federal Ministry of Finance, a candidate, Pelumi Rotimi, said the registration was seamless and that she was able to register within few minutes.

    Rotimi said she hope to study hard for a good grade that would give her admission into the university of her choice.

    Candidates are however required to possess the following documents for the 2024 UTME registration- National Identification Number (NIN) and Personal information.

    Others are their O’level results, choice of institution and course, biometric verification and Jamb registration fee.
