Federal lawmaker proposes 3-year validity for UTME results

-
A Member representing Oluyole Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has proposed that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) should increase the validity of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to three years. She revealed this in Ibadan, Oyo State capital on Friday, adding that the bill was sponsored on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, 16th March 2022. The bill tagged, A Bill for an Act To Amend The Joint Admission And Matriculation Board (Establishment, Etc) Act, 2021 and other Related Matters, urged the House to look into increasing the number of years JAMB results will be valid for, Olamilekan Olusada, the lawmaker's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, said in a statement on Friday. Akande-Sadipe, who chairs the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, hinted that the proposed amendment for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, the body conducting the examination, will make it function better. The lawmaker noted that the yearly examination is great and has been able to determine applicants who are prepared for the rigorous task of studying in the tertiary environment but having a year valid score has been cumbersome, distorting, and worrisome to the average Nigerian. She said, “Most examinations meant for entrance for academics or otherwise are generally more than a year. Take a look at IELTS, SATS, GRE, and other recognised exams, they are either valid for three or four years and they have remained one of the best after being able to stand the test of time.
"The Bill seeks to increase the validity of the results of the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) from one year to three years," Akande-Sadipe said. Akande-Sadipe also noted that candidates, after the bill is adopted and passed into law, could be admitted into the university three years after taking UTME, stressing that this will save many Nigerians the cost of purchasing UTME forms every year.
