JAMB CAUTIONS TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS AGAINST CHANGE OF COURSES FOR CANDIDATES

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Monday said the transfer of candidates from one programme to another in any tertiary institution can only be effected with the consent of the candidates concerned.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, made this known in the bulletin he made available to our correspondent in Abuja.

Oloyede stated that the warning was in line with the Board’s policy which disallows tempering with the preferences for particular programmes or courses as expressed by candidates unless he/she indicated otherwise.

The bulletin read, “The comments of the Registrar were to clarify the call by some institutions that JAMB allow them to transfer candidates from one programme to another within the institution’s CAPS at no extra charges to the students.

“It was also to clarify the notion that it is difficult to transfer candidates from one programme to another and that not all the candidates transferred on the change of Programme platform would appear on CAPS. Elaborating on the workings of the Central Admissions Processing System, the Registrar said the transfer process is automated on CAPS and can only be effected with the consent or acceptance of the candidate.

STRIKE: FG BEGS ASUU TO ACCEPT IPPIS

The federal government has begged the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to accept the Integrated Payroll and Personnel information system (IPPIS) with the promise of improving the payment platform to fit the needs of the lecturers. The Accountant General of the Federation, Sylvia Okolieaboh, made the plea on Thursday during the meeting between the union and the federal government at the House of Representatives. Recall that the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila had last week called for an extended meeting of all stakeholders in the education sector to resolve the over seven months strike. The Accountant General said the government will accommodate the union on the issue of salaries in a bid to end the strike. He insisted that the government is concerned over the ripple effect of allowing ASUU to have a separate payment platform from others. “If there are peculiarities in the university salaries system, what we need to do is to sit down with ASUU and identify...
