THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have remitted over N5 billion to the Federal Government’s coffers, the Board’s Head of Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin has said.


This even as he has warned that the Board would not condone any act of multiple registration in the ongoing registration for Direct Entry and Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) for foreign centers.

Benjamin, who did not give details of the N5 billion returned to the coffers of the Federal Government, however, underscored the transparent and judicious utilisation of funds by the current JAMB leadership.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, the Board’s spokesperson said: “Candidates are to note that multiple registrations is a serious offence in the process of obtaining the Board’s application form be it UTME or the DE currently on sale.

“Our advertisement for 2017 UTME clearly states the penalty for any candidate caught buying two firms. The public is requested to note that any candidate who indulges in double registration will be caught by our software and disqualified.

“This information is necessary for the public to know so that when such candidates are sanctioned it will not be understood.

“The Board is not interested in the candidate’s money as being insinuated by certain group who suggested to the Board that such registration will enhance the revenue base of the Board.

“No, we are more interested in the sanctity of the examination and not the money. If money is our concern we would not be returning over 5 billion to federal government coffers.

“This year, we have remitted back to government over 5 billion naira, the highest ever in the 40 years of the Board. This money was saved through the transparent and judicious use of resources.

“We call on other government agencies to emulate the Board in prudent management of resources so that much can be save, returned to government coffers to stimulate the economy out of the recession.

“Again, we urge candidates to disregard all information on admission especially cut-off marks being circulated on the net. No cut-off mark has been arrived at as this can only be done at a policy meeting which is at the moment yet to be conveyed.

“The policy meeting would kick-start the 2017 admission exercise with all mode, process and acceptable conditions for admission. Candidates should not allow themselves to be defrauded by Internet fraudsters.

“The Prof Oloyede led management is working round the clock to ensure a transparent, acceptable and fair admission process that is selection of candidates.

“It has design software known as CAPS, Central Admissions Processing System where human interference will be completely removed.

The admission criteria would be keyed into the software and it will select candidates blindly according to institutions requirement without any primordial consideration.

“Once you meet the requirements you are picked, you don’t need to know anybody. This will promote equity and fairness to all,” he said.

Benjamin noted that the mandate of the Board was to be fair to all irrespective of tribe, religion among others and that the Board is determined to meet the expectations of Nigerians.

Cool

In essence?

Chai! I guess majority is from sale of jamb forms which some of the buyers were frustrated with poor network and planning

that is why it has being jambing jambite!

Good. Kudos to Jamb registrar Ishaq Oloyede.. He is an achiever per excellence.

As you know, the pessimists who never see anything good will start yarning dust soon.

Thank God this is not "will remit" . Lol. Even at that, where is buhari?


But wait oooo, highest after 40 years... Mtchew must they boast? Talk talk government....

This country is hopeless. Over 1m pple write jamb every year less dan 250k get admitted. Yet the money being generated from jamb is not being used to reduce the deficit

Okay , we don hear

Even FG is milking poor jambites

lalastical.....they will not chop dere own?

But how much did you send to ur personal account?

still at the same place...please FG should mandate jamb to make a better move,there's no time.

I'm not surprised because l know the type of person Professor Ishaq Olanrewaju OLOYEDE is. Go ask the alumnus and alumna of the University of Ilorin.

Well done JAMB.

Dividend of TSA.

How can JAMB just be remitting into the National coffers for the 1st time?

Civil servants can be worse than politicians when it comes to corruption.

Good

So they have been eating this money all along before Buhari came on board? Na wa o

JAMB is now a revenue generating body?
Well. I hope they would use this money to improve the Examination next year and to fund other sectors of Education.

“This year, we have remitted back to government over 5 billion naira, the highest ever in the 40 years of the Board. This money was saved through the transparent and judicious use of resources."

The so called "Professor of Arabic studies or is it Islamic studies" is already delivering.


Shame on those hypocrites condemning this man.


Shame on those enemy of progress.


Shame on those religious bigots who only sees his religion and believes nothing good will ever come from him.


Shame on them and their entire generation.



Quote me to say rubbish If you're one of those mentioned.

Ok

So Mr Oloyede has achieved by reaping off students with JAMB's failed system to make more money available to the looters.

We commend his prudence but ordinary Nigerians should not be made to pay so high to write a local exam to make money for the stealing elites.

Why are you like this

They can afford to and indeed deserve to boast most especially if you remember that the same JAMB remmited only N11m to the FG a few years ago. Besides, a achievement of first in 40 years deserves to be celebrated.

ha...no wonder people dy fail so dy can write jamb 6 times, more money for FG

And some people said Buhari is not working?

Ur type must always find fault, doubting Thomas.

I have been searching the web for information on past remittances but nothing has been forthcoming. Does it mean JAMB has not been remmiting or it has been covered in secrecy.

The fact that this man under just one year of his appointment achieved this feat is something to congratulate him for and also be worried about what has being happening in Nigerian government parastatals.

It is an eye opener about the corruption going on in government parastatals.


I believe this 5billion should be a fraction of what UCH in Ibadan generates in a year.

I believe at the least 1000people will pay N1000(Minimum payment for service in UCH) daily to UCH for one service or the other. That is a minimum of N1m daily.

It now gets scary when you consider the potntial average amount each individual will pays daily which could rise up to N20,000 per patient multiply by 1000 patients daily. N20m daily average=N600m a month=N7b a year.


God help this country.
