Direct Entry Applicants to Take UTME as JAMB Sends N2bn to FG

Posted on May 19, 2023
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new requirement for candidates seeking direct entry admission into Nigerian universities. Previously, only candidates without certain qualifications were required to take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), while those with the necessary credentials were exempted from the exam. However, in a recent statement, JAMB stated that direct entry candidates will now be required to sit the UTME alongside first-year applicants. This change aims to verify the authenticity of the certificates presented by direct entry candidates and address the issue of malpractices associated with direct entry applications. In addition to this update, JAMB has remitted N2 billion to the Nigerian government as an interim surplus for the 2023 operating year. The remittance reflects JAMB’s commitment to its financial obligations and ensuring transparency in its operations. RECOMMENDED POSTS Recommended Posts:

About UTME for DE Applicants

During a management committee meeting, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made a decision in response to the recent crisis surrounding the 2023 Direct Entry registration process. JAMB implemented new processes to address infractions in the admission system, taking into consideration the unique circumstances of the nation. As part of these changes, JAMB announced that all Direct Entry (DE) candidates, including those seeking admission to the second year of university, will now be required to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This decision aims to ensure that DE candidates can substantiate their possession of A’ level certificates and eliminate any loopholes that may lead to abuses in the admission process. The implementation of this policy aligns with JAMB’s ongoing efforts to enhance the growth of Nigeria’s education sector, promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance. By including DE candidates in the UTME, JAMB seeks to change the negative perception surrounding A’ level admissions into higher institutions, demonstrating its commitment to positive reforms in the education sector.

About the N2b Remittance

According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), a fresh deposit of N2 billion has been made into the federal government’s Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), bringing the total amount remitted to the government to approximately N55 billion during the current leadership’s six-year tenure. This significant achievement stands in stark contrast to the less than N60 million remitted to the government in the first 38 years or so of JAMB’s existence. JAMB attributes this remarkable progress to the vision of its registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, who emphasized the importance of leveraging technology and implementing strict discipline in managing the affairs of the examination agency. Since assuming office, the registrar has adopted a policy of transparency and accountability, ensuring that all operations are conducted with utmost diligence. By optimizing internal processes and procedures, JAMB has not only achieved substantial cost savings but has also recovered over N1.2 billion in both cash and valuable properties in prime areas of Abuja in 2016. These positive developments have allowed JAMB to post impressive returns to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), reflecting its commitment to responsible financial management. The board’s proactive measures include the renegotiation of service provider contracts, resulting in a significant reduction of annual payments from N1.2 billion to approximately N400 million while maintaining the same level of service. Such prudent financial practices have enabled JAMB to make substantial contributions to the government’s revenue and instill a culture of efficiency and accountability within the organization.
