JAMB Abolishes N100m Allocation To State Offices – Registrar

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Wednesday said that the board would no longer give the usual N100 million to its state offices. Oloyede made the disclosure at the opening of a two-day meeting with Computer Based Test (CBT) centres, Technical Advisors, Service Providers such as MTN, Airtell, Galaxy Backbone and other stakeholders. Our correspondent reports that the meeting was held at Kongo Conference Hotel, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. Oloyede said: “You may recollect that since 2016, we do give at least N100m to state offices for one thing or the other. We want to tell you that this year; no kobo will be released for anybody for anything, because those who are running private CBC centres are making profit. “And if they can make profit, paying their salaries and doing other things. We are paying salaries of all staff and in addition, we still take care of offices through quarterly allocation.
