Ojerinde Speaks On Validity Of UTME Results For 3 Years

JAMB registrar, Mr. Dibu Ojerinde, has faulted the
Nigerian senate's call for that UTME results be
valid for 3 years.
According to him, such a policy would delay and
obstruct the education progress of students
across board.
"There are complexities in this thing, until we are
able to clear it. When you say you will use JAMB
results for three years, is it an achievement test or
aptitude test? However, are we delaying his or her
life? Are we postponing his or her life by telling
them to stay at home? If by next year he doesn't
get the cut off points, what happens?
Mr. Ojerinde also said that expressing
reservations about the Senate position did not in
any way signify opposition to cutting cost.
"I have nothing against the idea, because we will
tell the children, 'those bluffing Polytechnics and
College of Education, go there and waste their
time', if it is a waste of time."
He spoke in Abuja during the opening ceremony
of JAMB-UNEB Benchmark on Item Banking.
