Naira Appreciates to N1,579/$1 as Market Confidence Grows

Following the completion of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation (JAMB) announced on Thursday that it has sent N2 billion to the federation account as an interim surplus for the 2023 operating year.

This was said in a statement released on Thursday in Abuja by Fabian Benjamin, Head of Public Affairs and Protocol at JAMB.

The remittance, according to the statement, was made in furtherance of the management team led by Registrar of JAMB Prof. Is-haq Oloyede’s promise to use technology and discipline to run the agency.

The declaration claims that Oloyede has given the Federal Government N55 billion since his appointment in 2016.

According to the statement, Oloyede has returned N55bn to the Federal Government since he was appointed in 2016.

The statement said: “Since assuming office the Prof. Is-haq Oloyede-led management has remitted over N55 billion to the Federal Government coffers. This is far above the less than the N60 million remitted by the Board in the 38 years of the existence of the Board before the appointment of Prof. Oloyede.

“On assumption of office of the current Registrar, he had come up with a policy which holds that whatever would be done, must be on the table. This has changed the narratives such that JAMB now posts humongous returns to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF).

These returns were bolstered by the Board’s expanded internal capacities for its operations achieved through direct execution of its processes and procedures, which instantly resulted in, for instance, a savings of N1.2 billion being paid annually to a service provider and a downward review of the N1.2 billion being annually paid to another to about N400 million with the same old service provider. This is in addition to the recovery of over N1.2 billion in both cash and estates in choice areas of Abuja, in 2016.

“It was these steps and many others, which had ensured that a Board, which had remitted cumulatively in its 40 years of existence about N55 million to the national treasury, rendered N7.8 billion in the first year of the assumption of office of Prof. Oloyede and has since contributed over N27 billion directly into the national treasury.

The remitted amount is without prejudice to the 30% reduction in its application fee (N10.8bbillion in 4 years since the reduction), Capital Fund (N11 billion including N6 billion, which is yet to be committed), Annual Awards/Grants to Tertiary Institutions for Capital Projects (N1 billion) and Special Staff Welfare Scheme (N2billion). This would aggregate the cumulative surplus to about N54 billion over the last six years.”

Meanwhile, JAMB has expressed commitment to press ahead with its efforts to reposition the conduct of public examinations in the country.

In a statement issued at the end of its management committee meeting to appraise the recent crisis witnessed in the conduct of the 2023 Direct Entry registration, the Board stated that the seeming crisis was birthed by the implementation of some of its newly-adopted processes aimed at curbing infractions in the admission value chain given our national peculiarities.

“Another major policy change also to be implemented by the Board to holistically address all loopholes giving rise to abuses in the Direct Entry admission processes is that all DE candidates, which comprise those seeking to be in Year Two in the universities, would henceforth be required to sit the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination UTME along with other candidates for them to justify the possession of their A’level certificates.

“This policy is to be situated within the ambit of the Board’s relentless efforts aimed at enhancing the growth of the nation’s education sector as it would promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.

It also underscores the Board’s commitment and determination towards changing the negative narrative of A’level admissions into higher institutions in Nigeria,” the statement added.
