The House of Representatives has urged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB, to allow its result to be VALID for at least three years and to conduct the entry exams at least twice annually.

Sequel to the adoption of a motion by a member from Ekiti State, Hon. Akintunde Rotimi, at plenary today, the lawmaker had expressed concern that the JAMB results are valid for only one year, noting that if candidates cannot secure admission into any tertiary institution of their choice in the academic year the exam was taken, the result no matter how good becomes useless.

Correspondent Nathan Williams reports that the House observed that despite the incessant strikes embarked upon by ASUU which led to the loss of a complete academic calendar, JAMB still went ahead to administer its examination without recourse to the industrial action by ASUU.
