JAMB registrar, Mr. Dibu Ojerinde,
has faulted the Nigerian senate’s call
for that UTME results be valid for 3
years.

According to him, such a policy
would delay and obstruct the
education progress of students across
board.

“There are complexities in this thing,
until we are able to clear it. When
you say you will use JAMB results for
three years, is it an achievement test
or aptitude test?

However, are we delaying his or her
life? Are we postponing his or her
life by telling them to stay at home?
If by next year he doesn’t get the cut
off points, what happens?

Mr. Ojerinde also said that
expressing reservations about the
Senate position did not in any way
signify opposition to cutting cost.

“I have nothing against the idea,
because we will tell the children,
‘those bluffing Polytechnics and
College of Education, go there and
waste their time’, if it is a waste of
time.”

He spoke in Abuja during the
opening ceremony of JAMB-UNEB
Benchmark on Item Banking.
