JAMB, NUC meet to resolve admission challenges
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
has expressed its readiness to work assiduously with
the apex universities regulatory body, the National
Universities Commission (NUC), for the purpose of
resolving some obvious challenges in tertiary
institution admission processes.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, stated this
on Friday in Abuja when he received the Executive
Secretary of NUC, Professor Abubakar Rasheed, who
led some management staff of the Commission on
familiarisation visit.
Oloyede noted that JAMB and NUC were two agencies
of government that occupied a critical position in
admission and regulations of tertiary institutions in
Nigeria, hence the need for collaboration to achieve a
stronger tertiary education system.
On his part, Rasheed announced that the essence of
the visit was to strengthen the existing ties in order
to improve the quality of intakes in tertiary
institutions.
He said: “We have agreed to work together to resolve
the problems that are affecting the smooth running
of admissions into tertiary institutions. We are
working for a common goal and that is to improve the
education sector in Nigeria.”
Oloyede and Rasheed exchanged congratulatory
messages on their recent appointments, promising to
use their wealth of experience to support the
Ministers of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu and
Prof. Anthony Anwukah, in their quest to revamp the
education system in Nigeria.
