READ IF ASUU STRIKE MIGHT AFFECT 2020/2021 ADMISSIONS

      JAMB has assured Nigerians that  the ongoing strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) would not affect this year’s 2020/2021 admission process.

According to a senior official of JAMB who spoke to The Guardian under the condition of anonymity assured parents and candidates seeking admission into the nation’s higher institutions that JAMB will soon commence admission process for the 2020/2021 session.

This is coming as a result of the 9-month old strike currently grounding academic activities of public universities in the country by the Academic Staff Union of Universities ASUU.

He also stated that efforts are on by the board in partnership with other stakeholders, to come up with all necessary information that will guide prospective candidates on how to complete admission processes into institutions of their choice.

He said: “We have conducted the examinations and by the end of this month, we will be starting our admission process’’

He also argued that Nigerian universities’ calendar has never been the same, while some institutions have finished the previous session and are waiting for JAMB to give them the go ahead to start admissions; some government institutions are still in first semester. “Those who are ready will start and those ones who are not can do admissions and when they finish, they can now call their students.’’

EASILY SECURE UNIVERSITY ADMISSION WITH THESE TIPS

Also, the Director of Corporate Affairs, Nigerian Universities Commission,  (NUC), Ibrahim Yankasai in an interview with The Guardian said there is no connection between the industrial action by ASUU and admissions.

“I think we need to talk about the pandemic first, how many months were lost as a result of the pandemic? Though the Federal Government is yet to come up with a policy on the issue, this year’s admission will be done in such a way that nothing would be lost,” Ibrahim Yakasai stated.

“Officially, I will tell you that there is no policy yet on what will happen but my thinking is that some measures would be put in place to ensure that nothing is lost for old students and the new ones coming in.’
