JAMB Candidates Warned Against Choosing Unauthorized Degree Courses In Specialized Universities

The Federal Government has directed all specialized universities (e.g universities of agriculture, universities of technologies, universities of medicine etc) offering courses that are not in line with their statutory mandates to stop offering such courses.
The government frowned at such a situation whereby a Universities of Agriculture that is supposed to offer only courses related to agriculture starts offering Law and management related courses.

This was contained in a statement released by the Head of Information, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.

According to the statement, specialized universities are those universities that have been established to offer specific courses and grow the needed manpower in such areas which will help boost the economy.

He further stated that the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu has ordered the examination board to remove such courses offered by these specialized universities that are contrary to their statutory mandate from its list of recognized ones.

All prospective UTME candidates have been advised not to choose any of the blacklisted courses as they are no longer recognized by JAMB in such universities and will be removed from the JAMB Brochure.

The universities affected are Universities of Agriculture and Universities of Technology and other universities that are approved to offer courses in a specific field or discipline.

All candidates are therefore advised to ensure that the course they chose in an institution is truly offered by that institution. This can be confirmed via the current JAMB brochure.

We’re yet to have any meaningful engagement with Federal Government over strike, says ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has disclosed that it was yet to have any meaningful engagement with the Federal Government since the union embarked on an indefinite strike. The university teachers, had on March 23, 2020, embarked on strike in protest against government’s directive for members to join the integrated payroll and personnel Information System (IPPIS), payroll software mandated for all public officials. The Federal Government had last year directed that all its employees should be enrolled under the IPPIS scheme by December 31 or their salaries would be withheld. The directive did not go down well with ASUU members and they never failed to make it known to their employers. Few days to the deadline, some ASUU members were said to have secretly enrolled on the platform, while some others, especially their leaders, refused to join. All efforts to persuade them failed; rather they embarked on two weeks warning strike. The national president o
