JAMB opens Portal for 2020/2021 Admission


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) has reopened portal for the 2020/2021 admissions.

The board said opening the portal gives institutions access to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admissions.

The spokesperson for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed this in a telephone interview on Wednesday with the news corespondent

He quoted the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, as saying that admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System for approval


.

“Of course, long ago. Any institution, not just public that wants to is already uploading,” Oloyede was quoted as saying.

Earlier, JAMB notified the public not to fall victim to fraudsters and rumour mongers.

The board who gave the opinion in a weekly bulletin of the Office of the Registrar said that it has yet to begin the sale of the 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination forms.

JAMB reiterates that it has not begun the sale of its 2021 UTME and Direct Entry application forms, neither has it announced a date for the exercise.

”The clarification became necessary following fake news that the board has begun the sale and was urging prospective applicants to procure same from some nebulous selling outlets.

”The public is to note that the news of the purported sale of the registration forms is false and an attempt to mislead the public

JAMB explained that the delay in the start of the sale of the application forms was as a result of the prevailing Coronavirus pandemic in the country but would conclude arrangements soon

ASUU Strike, Labour Minister And ‘No Work No Pay’ Clause

I carefully read the press release of December 8, 2020, from the media office of the Honourable Minister of Labour and Employment regarding the on-going effort at resolving the industrial dispute between the federal government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU). The claims of the minister on the ‘no work no pay’ rule are flawed on several counts. First, the government lacks the right to impose a `no work no pay rule’ on workers who embarked on a strike because it (government) violated the sanctity of collective agreement, which it freely entered into with the trade union. If this is allowed to happen, then the industrial relations system would have lost the very self-regulatory pluralist value on which it is anchored. Hence, in the current case, the federal government, as the violator, cannot at the same time reach out to invoke the `no work no pay’ clause.
