The Senate yesterday passed a resolution
reducing the registration fee of
Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) N5,650 to N2,500.

At the plenary session yesterday, the
senators recommended the
extension of the validity period of
the UTME to three academic year.

The resolution was taken following
the adoption of the report of the
Senate Committee on Tertiary
Institutions and TETFund on the
inquiry into the new admission
policy of the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB).



They also resolved to amend the Act
establishing JAMB to reflect the
extension of the validity period
which is at the moment a year.
