Senate Directs JAMB To Extend Results Validity to 3 years

This is a good news for JAMB candidates. The Nigerian Senate has directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to extend the validity of results to three (3) years. Many JAMB candidates and other stakeholders in the past have clamoured for this and now the Senate has asked JAMB to effect this.

Senate Asks JAMB To Extend Results  Validity to 3 years

This was even as it ordered the board to immediately stop its policy of re-assigning candidates to schools they never applied to, saying such policy was contrary to the act establishing the board.

To this end, results obtained from the board by candidates seeking admission into universities are expected to last for three years.

The red chamber, which order came following a motion entitled: ”JAMB’s New Admission Policy, “ sponsored by Senator  Joshua  Lidani, APC, Gombe South, which was debated during plenary, also urged JAMB to consult widely with Parents Teachers Association, ASUU and all other stakeholders in the education sector with a view to coming out with a friendlier holistic, comprehensive and sustainable admissions policy.

We congratulate all Nigerians, especially admission seekers on this development.
