The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has no right to conduct higher institutions admission. In a statement signed by the national president, ASUU, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, disclosed that JAMB\u2019s action of handling higher institutions admission was an encroachment into the University’s autonomy.<\/p>\n

It explained that JAMB had no power to decide qualification for admission and had no power to give admission or delist programmes of universities He said: PAY ATTENTION: \u201cThe autonomy of universities is under increasing threat by the meddlesome activities of JAMB in admission processes and regulation of academic activities in the Nigerian University System.”<\/p>\n

ASUU said JAMB was an examination body and clearinghouse for admission into tertiary institutions, calling on the exam body to maintain its own course and not overstep from its original mandate. \u201cWe call upon JAMB to desist from overstepping its original mandate and allow Universities to decide on admission policies and processes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\nJAMB in Trouble as ASUU Tells Exam Body to Hands-off Admissions -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB)\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/odidiomo.com\/news\/jamb-in-trouble-as-asuu-tells-exam-body-to-hands-off-admissions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"JAMB in Trouble as ASUU Tells Exam Body to Hands-off Admissions -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said that the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/odidiomo.com\/news\/jamb-in-trouble-as-asuu-tells-exam-body-to-hands-off-admissions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ODIDI OMO -
