Jamb may not reduce exam fee oloyede
It seems like you're referring to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the possibility of reducing the exam fee. Here's a breakdown of the situation:
In 2022, the JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, announced that the board would not reduce the exam fee for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The fee was set at N13,500 for the computer-based test.
However, there have been ongoing discussions and debates about the high cost of JAMB registration and the potential impact on students from low-income backgrounds. Some stakeholders have called for a reduction in the exam fee to make it more accessible to a wider range of students.
It's worth noting that JAMB has implemented some measures to make the registration process more affordable, such as the introduction of a payment plan that allows students to pay in installments. Additionally, the board has also introduced a system that allows students to register for the exam using their National Identification Number (NIN).
While there have been no official announcements about reducing the exam fee, it's possible that JAMB may consider revising the fee structure in the future. However, any changes would likely require careful consideration and consultation with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the exam remains accessible and affordable for all students.
