NANS want jamb scrqpped for exploiting students

The National Association of Nigeria
Students (NANS) has called for the
scrapping of the Joint Admission
And Matriculation Board (JAMB )
over its exploitative policies and
anti-students activities.
According to the NANS National
President, Comrade Tijani Usman,
who made the call in Abuja, when he
led a protest to the JAMB
headquarters, the purpose for the
establishment of JAMB has been
basterdised.
In his words, ?The reason why we
are here is to tell the general public
and the government of the day that
JAMB has outlived its usefulness.
Nigerian students have seen most of
the draconian policies of JAMB that
is exploitative.
?Parents have been paying huge
sums of money just for their
children to get admission into
various tertiary institutions, yet
JAMB will not give them.? admission
because JAMB cannot give
admission,? he added.
Speaking on behalf of JAMB, the
Director of Quality Assurance, Mr.
John Okonkwo, said that the policy
that generated so much controversy
was introduced by JAMB in order to
give admission seekers the
opportunity of getting admission
into other schools offering the same
courses that students applied for, but
which was not the schools of their
choice.
It will be recalled that the Federal
Government has overruled the
examination body on the new
admission policy.
