The management of Sokoto State University wishes to inform the general public and all 2017/2018 Post UTME aspirants that it has released the Post UTME Result for 2017/2018 academic session.
The management of Kaduna State University (KASU) has released the list of candidates admitted into its Postgraduate programme for the 2017/2018 academic session. The list is available on the schools official website.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday said it would conduct Computer-Based Tests (CBTs) for Nigerians abroad in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, made these known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Abuja. According to Benjamin, the collaboration was to enhance the conduct of Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, for foreign candidates in 2018. He said 2017 UTME was conducted for foreign candidates on September 30 in Gambia, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Benin Republic, Ethiopia, South Africa and Cameroon.
According to him, although the conduct of the examination was not justifiable, in terms of monetary value, there is need for JAMB to collaborate, to promote growth in the education sector.
“We are already promoting CBT in line with international best practices; we have taken it to some countries in Africa, we need to do more to encourage the practice. “We have even gone ahead to see how we can put some countries on the global map by conducting our public examination there through CBT. “What we want to do is to partner with the ministry to be able to key into the global technology revolution as part of our foreign policy.
“We must be able to maximise profit, especially from West African countries that we are offering assistance, through scholarship, to school in Nigeria. “We cannot achieve much by looking at things from naira and kobo, but through diplomatic relations there will be adequate room to gain through conduct of examination abroad,” he said.
The head of public relations explained that foreign candidates sat for examination in one session based on local time of their various countries, adding that the questions were deployed from the Board’s headquarters. He decried message on the social media that the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, had directed the refund of post UTME fee, describing the information as false and could create confusion in the public domain.
Benjamin urged the public to disregard the information, saying that institutions that had charged more than N2,000 would be asked to make refund of the excess. He described as unfortunate a situation where some institutions could not adhere to the minister’ directive about the payment of post-UTME.

Ahead of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has agreed on a harmonized timetable with other examination bodies in the country to have a hitch free examination.
The Board at a brainstorming meeting with National Examination Council (NECO), West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Business and Technical Examination (NABTEB) held at the national headquarters of the Board in Abuja unanimously agreed to harmonize the examination timetable because of the candidates desire for qualitative tertiary education.
The harmonised examination timetable has put to rest problems arising from overlapping of examination dates, which would have disenfranchised a sizeable number of candidates.
At the end of the brainstorming session, the bodies resolved that WAEC would speak to all its authorities that from 2018, between March and April, for a window of two (2) weeks be created where all other examinations that have nothing to do with Nigeria will be held so as to allow a window for JAMB to conduct its examination. The bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB will shift its examinations to allow students face WAEC, NECO and NABTEB.
However, a ten-day window for JAMB'S UTME has been created by all examination bodies for JAMB to conduct it's examination. In view of this, JAMB will soon announce the commencement of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for UTME and Direct Entry (DE). JAMB emphasises the fact that whoever is presently collecting any money in the name of JAMB form should be reported to the Police or any other security agency as fraudster. NECO and NABTEB have also adjusted their examination timetables to avoid overlap in subjects that are common to the two (2) examination bodies.
A Committee was set up to critically appraise the mandates of WAEC, NECO and NABTEB, the three (3) examination bodies to make sure that each body sticks to their original mandate and with the possibility of working together in a synergy that they lead to collaborative examination for the purpose of students having results at one (1) sitting rather than separate sittings.
The essence of the meeting is to continually find solutions to challenges faced by candidates in the cause of their desire for tertiary education.
Again, the Board is using this opportunity to inform Nigerians that it has not commenced the sales of its application documents. The forms will be out as soon as all critical planning are concluded to ensure a smooth examination in 2017.
