JAMB Has No Power To Decide Qualification For Admission – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has accused the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) of encroaching into the university’s autonomy.

Brand News Day Nigeria reports that the President of the union, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, after announcing a four-week strike action beginning from February 14, lamented that the 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.

According to Osodeke, JAMB was created by an Act of the National Assembly in 1978 and is responsible for the conduct of matriculation examinations for admission into a tertiary institution in Nigeria, the appointment of examiners and the collection/dissemination of information on all matters relating to entrance examinations.

Prof. Osodeke pointed out that it is the prerogative and responsibility of each university’s senate to superintend over all academic matters in the university, including setting the admission requirements and approval of university undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

He, however, emphasized that JAMB has no powers to decide qualification for admission, adding that it also lacked the powers to give admission or delist programmes of universities.
