The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that as of Saturday, February 26th, 2022, about 236,206 applicants have been enrolled in the current 2022 UTME/DE registration. This information was included in the board’s official bulletin, which was published once a week.

This, according to the board, represents a significant increase over the previous year, when only around 102,221 applicants were able to register during the first week of the registration period.

As part of its announcement, the board stated that it had approved the establishment of a Management Committee to supervise the ongoing UTME registration activity nationally in order to guarantee that candidates and the general public receive excellent services and are not extorted.

Following a strike notice issued by members of the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) and the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), it is possible that a complete shutdown of public tertiary institutions in Nigeria would take place (SSANU).

According to a joint statement issued on Friday, February 25, in Abuja, and signed by Mr. Prince Adeyemi, General Secretary of the NASU, and Mr. Mohammed Ibrahim, National President of SSANU, the unions have threatened to go on strike as a result of the Federal Government’s failure to implement agreements reached with the unions in the past.

This was decided at a committee meeting held on February 24 following a review of the status of the Memorandum Of Understanding agreed with the Federal Government on their industrial action scheduled for January and February 2021, according to the statement.

Their grievances included the delay in the renegotiation of the FGN/NASU and SSANU agreements as well as the non-payment of arrears of the National Minimum Wage, neglect and poor funding of state universities, non-payment of benefits to retiring members, and the non-constitution of visitation panels to universities, among other things.

The 2022 JAMB Mock-UTME will now take place on Saturday, April 9, 2022, rather than on Saturday, April 16, 2022, as had previously been scheduled. As stated in the board’s weekly announcement, this information is available.

This adjustment has been made due to the understanding that the 16th of April in 2022, which was originally selected, is Easter Saturday, which is honored by Christians as a Holy Saturday since it marks the completion of the Lenten Season and occurs the day before Easter Sunday.

The date for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, on the other hand, has been set for the 6th to the 16th of May in 2022.

It stated that it will continue to operate in the best interests of Nigerians since it was a responsive organization. As a result, those candidates who intend to register early in order to participate in the Mock UTME are advised to take notice of the new date. In order to successfully register for the mock exam, you must express your interest in doing so at your local registration center.

Goodluck!

According to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Mr. Bello Muhammed Abubakar, a Gombe State Secondary School Principal, has been arraigned before the Gombe State High Court 2 sitting in Gombe, for alleged fraudulent activities.

Abubakar, according to the Independent Commission on Public corruption, defrauded unsuspecting admission seekers to the tune of N3,884,200:00 between 2009 and 2015 under the pretext of offering them admission into Mukhtar Polytechnic Gombe, Goni Mukhtar College of Education Gombe State, and the Goni Mukhtar Linguistic Centre, among other institutions.

While unlawfully operating the schools in Gombe State, the suspect was apprehended by agents of the Commission as part of an intelligence-led operation. He was accused of committing the crime while illegally operating the institutions all in one block of three classrooms in the state.

In his plea of not guilty to all the charges, Abubakar was granted bail in the sum of Two Million Naira (N2,000,000) and two sureties in the same value, both of whom must be residents of the court’s jurisdiction and must swear to an affidavit of means in order to be eligible for bail.

The case has been postponed to the 29th and 30th of March in 2022 for a hearing to take place there.

Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as part of its efforts to combat corruption in the country. The signing took place on Monday, February 21.

The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, met with the Director-General of the Nigerian Youth Service Corps, Maj.-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja to formalize the existing partnership between the agencies in the fight against corruption and economic crimes in Nigeria. Bawa was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari to lead the commission.

As explained by Bawa, the MoU would serve as a roadmap for what the EFCC and the NYSC would be doing from time to time in order to bring about the course’s implementation.

He went on to clarify that, while the EFCC’s mission needed qualified officers, corps members have always contributed to the agency’s accomplishments when the agency is short on personnel.

His remarks on the NYSC Community Development Service (CDS) were accompanied by the observation that corps members are always prepared to put in their best efforts in the fight against corruption, which the EFCC has commended the corps for.

He also asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to apprehend scammers who blackmail Nigerians through social media with the promise of influencing their posting, redeployment, or relocation.
