9th Assembly: PDP governors, party leaders meet to take stand

The Senate has assured the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) of its continuous support in transforming Nigeria’s education sector.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and (TETFund), Sen. Muntari Dandutse gave the assurance when he led members of the committee on an oversight visit to JAMB headquarters on Tuesday.

He said that the committee was committed to supporting JAMB in its mission.

“We will continue to work collaboratively to secure the resources and legislative backing needed to propel JAMB to greater heights.

“I encourage the Board to maintain its standards of integrity, transparency and accountability as it navigates the evolving demands of the education sector.

“We will support JAMB in terms of achieving accessibility to most of the CBT centres in parts of the country that are not accessible”.

Dandutse said that the 10th Senate Committee was working very tirelessly to ensure that the educational system was raised to international standard to tackle students’ migration to other countries.

The chairman further said that JAMB had played an essential role in shaping Nigeria’s educational landscape, serving as a critical body in the coordination and facilitation of admissions into tertiary institutions.

“The Board’s commitment to fairness, transparency and accessibility has been demonstrated through various reforms.

“These reforms are aimed at enhancing the efficiency of its processes and ensuring that merit-based admissions remain at the forefront of Nigeria’s education system”.

Dandutse said that the introduction of digital registration processes, biometric verification and streamlined testing procedures were just a few of the Board’s accomplishments that have transformed the admission process and improved transparency.

“These developments have not only restored confidence in JAMB but also placed Nigeria among global leaders in the use of technology in educational assessments,” he said.
