Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, has revealed that Nigerians should be made to pay more for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in exchange for financial autonomy for the board. Oloyede, who spoke before the House Committee on Finance on Wednesday, said the examination body does not have to be catered for in the annual budget if it is allowed to hike up the cost of UTME from N3,500 to N5,000, an increase of about 40 percent.

Oloyede, however, argued that JAMB is content with the current arrangement but described the option as viable to free some funds for the cash-strapped Nigerian government. He said that N7.8 billion, N5.2 billion, N3.76 billion, N4 billion, N3.5 billion and N3 billion were remitted in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively.

Needs more money to steal!

MEANING - Impoverish Nigerians More so we have more money to steal but don't monitor or make us accountable. Is this not same JAMB were Snake swallowed 36 Million Naira!

Thief

So JAMB can kill the destinies of children by withholding with impunity examination centres and the result of many on the guise of examination malpractice.

...the whole Jamb should be scrapped!! ... let the universities set their standards and let their productivity determine their success. This centralized admission and spoon feeding is killing the country!!

This man is a thief and a callous one. Nigerians supposed to petition for his resignation.

People talking about JAMB when ASUU is still on strike

Anything that will make Nigerian to suffer, that's what they know best to do.

Nigeria subsidized university system is the cause of rising unemployment

JAMB should be scrapped instead. Let individual universities set their entry exams.

We have so many ...... In this country

Why is our elite killing the masses? Why are they never satisfied with all their ill-gotten stolen wealth? They care less about the ordinary citizen struggling to survive in a country that has no job after graduation. God go send thunder to you sir.

So that we will get direct admission into university

Very sluggish thinking

This man should be sacked immediately

Autonomy to have power to eat D money. Oloshi with D present hardship you're proposing increase in fee when those admitted and have graduated are still Jobless 'Make Nigerians pay more for JAMB'? May God eliminate all bad people's leading our country including their supporter's

Just when you think this people have the masses at heart then boom they prove you wrong.

Do you see an elite! The likes of Festus Keyamo. Those who graduated years ago have no hope of job, a lot of parents can't register WAEC for their children, and you want them to pay more for jamb even without guarantee of admission. Wicked people!
