Senate to JAMB: Develop a Strategy for Efficiency

The Senate yesterday advised the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to develop a strategy to ensure efficiency in the conduct of Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME). The advice is coming as a result of recurrent problems associated with the Board's CBT that candidates are experiencing.

In a related development the Senate has rejected a motion seeking to make Pan-Africanism a subject in the country’s secondary schools but instead, resolved that History and Civic Education should be re-introduced into secondary school curriculum Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna Central), who moved the motion had in his lead debate, stressed the need to inspire Nigerian children with the knowledge of Africanism, which he described as “the dream of African founding fathers about Africa’s unity.”
