A bill to amend the Joint Admission and Matriculation Act (JAMB) act to extend the validity of JAMB score got its second reading yesterday.
Rep Ibrahim Ebbo (PDP, Niger), who sponsored the bill, said Nigerians mostly the poor are the highest number of people sitting for the Examination year by year despite the increasing cost of purchasing the JAMB forms.
He also said WAEC and NECO are good example of which validity extend in years.
The Reps members voted unanimously for in favour of the passage of the bill. Deputy speaker, Emeka Ihedioha who
presided over the sitting thereafter referred the bill to the education committee for further legislative duties.
I think this initiative would change what people think about JAMB as a profit body.
