JAMB SETS DEADLINE FOR INSTITUTION ADMISSIONS.

Students seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria have been given a lifeline until Wednesday, November 30, 2016. According to information obtained by Information Nigeria, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) stated on Friday, September 16, that all admissions to universities, polytechnics and colleges of education should end at the stipulated time.

The First Technical Committee Meeting was held in Bayero University, Kano, from August 22 to August 26, where institutions were expected to make submissions for their first choice admissions to admissions’ panels at the technical sessions. “However, some institutions informed the meeting that they were not ready to make submissions as internal processes leading to the exercise had not been completed.
“The affected institutions requested for an earlier special date than the date for the Second Technical Committee Meeting scheduled for November 14 in Owerri, Imo State,” he explained. Speaking further, Professor Oloyede said: “I need to re-state my earlier submission that the senate and the academic boards of the institutions have the primary responsibility of recommending candidates to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for admissions. “JAMB will not initiate or insert any candidates but will, as expected, ensure that no candidate is unjustly treated by any institution. “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is thus a referee for justice, equity and standards.”
While informing that other admission processes remain intact, the registrar explained that there should be no post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test and that institutions which were yet to complete their requirements for the 2017 brochure to do so.
Here is a list of Nigerian Institutions that have already released admission lists:

  • Babcock University
  • Ajayi Crowther University
  • Afe Babalola University, Ado
  • Igbinedion University
  • Bayero University
  • Kwara State University
  • American University of Nigeria

And a few others.

Kola Abiola, the eldest son of Late Chief MKO Abiola, has finally spoken on his alleged marriage to Aisha Babangida, the eldest daughter of Nigeria’s former Military President Gen. Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB). IBB and MKO Abiola were friends until the latter contested and won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, but the former would later cancel the election. Their relationship went sour, but before the annulment, Kola and Aisha were allegedly dating. At a time, it was speculated that they secretly got married.
