JAMB HASN'T CANCELLED ANY ADMISSION

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, announced yesterday that no admissions to universities, polytechnics, or institutes of education had been suspended or postponed as a result of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU’s, protracted strike.

Professor Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, said this prior to opening the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, in Abuja.

Prof. Oloyede, among others, stated, “The responsibility for admitting students lies with the respective schools.” JAMB is a centre for coordination. JAMB cannot and will not determine the calendar of an institution. You are aware that universities and specialised institutes are still in academic year 2020/21. Some are enrolled in the 2021/2022 academic year, while others are enrolled in the 2022/2023 academic year. There are now three academic terms in session at universities in various regions of the country. My recommendation is that candidates contact their individual institutions to see which session is active.

“No admission has been cancelled for any session or for any university unless that institution’s senate states so.” All admissions for these three sessions have not lapsed and will not lapse, and it is now up to the institutions to decide which and how to proceed.”

OBASEKI CAN'T BAN UNION ACTIVITIES IN AAU –ASUU

The National President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Professor Emmanuel Osodeke, on Wednesday, said the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, had no constitutional right to proscribe union activities in the state-owned institution, Ambrose Alli University. The ASUU president, who disclosed this when he led other national delegates of the union in solidarity protest to the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, over their unpaid salaries and other sundry issues, said ASUU is a registered body that had the right to operate in the country. He said: “The governor did not establish the union, therefore, he doesn’t have the right or the power to ban the union. He doesn’t have that right. He is just making noise and it will not work”, he said. Corroborating the national president, the immediate past president, Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, said the union needs to rise up against the action of the state governor for proscribing union activities in the university in order to dete...
