JAMB FEE MUST BE REDUCED BY 50% – HOUSE OF REP

JAMB FEE MUST BE REDUCED BY 50% : Members of the House of Representatives have asked the Federal
Ministry of Education to cut the cost of Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) application forms by 50%.
Similarly the House members equally asked the Federal Ministry of
Education to equally ensure that the cost of other serviceslike
Change of Course and institution form be either free or be reduced
to at least N500.
According to James Faleke (APC, Lagos) who proposed the
motion, JAMB has become a prot
making venture to the
detriment of educational and social development of the country

He reminded the members of the house that JAMB as a
government agency is not set up for profit
making but to promote
educational development of the young citizens in pursuit of their
professional careers.
At the end, the house mandated its committee on basic education
to ensure compliance and report back in two weeks.
