According to Fountain University, Osogbo, the National University Commission (NUC) has approved the institution’s application to conduct three new postgraduate programs beginning in the 2021/2022 academic session.

The new programs include a Master of Science in Sociology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Management, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA).

It was announced in a letter signed by Dr. N.B Saliu, Director of Academic Planning for the commission, on behalf of the commission’s Executive Secretary, that the approval had been granted.

The commission’s executive secretary, Dr. Saliu, expressed his gratitude for the decision, noting that it had come after a successful assessment of the human and material resources available for the formation of the programs, which had been undertaken by panels of experts from the commission.

Prof. Amidu Sanni, the Vice Chancellor of Fountain Institution, expressed his gratitude for the professional gesture offered to the university and pledged the dedication of the school to making the most of the opportunity upon receiving the news.

Prof. Sanni also expressed his gratitude to the university’s stakeholders, staff, and students for putting in their best efforts to ensure the successful start of the programs.

Finally, the Vice Chancellor encouraged anyone who were interested to take advantage of the newly approved programs in order to benefit from the fountain of information that the citadel of learning was providing.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is opening self-registration outlet in Abuja and Lagos in an effort to capitalize on the growing number of computer-savvy candidates.

According to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, the system would, in the long term, lessen the crowds at CBT centers in these locations. The intention of this noble notion is to advance the digital competence of candidates who believe they are capable of completing the registration process on their own, as well as to expand the number of registration access points in accordance with COVID-19 norms.

According to the service provider, Bankfort, the tremendous potential of the seamless registration method is the standard rather than the exception in more-developed countries, and that this is the case in the United States.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released an additional USSD code and introduced WhatsApp as a help and complaint channel.

A new and optional USSD number, 66019, has been introduced by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to complement the existing 55019 code, which has been in use since 2018 for UTME/DE registration and other critical services provided by the Board.

Aim: To ensure that applicants have no trouble in creating their profiles for the 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise, particularly in a situation where a large number of them will be transmitting their requests using a single USSD code, as has been the case in previous years.

A summary of their functions is that they will be utilized to construct their profiles for registration by applicants participating in the UTME/DE in 2022 and 23. Candidate’s National Identification Number (NIN) must be sent to any of these USSD codes in order for their information to be pulled from the NIMC database before they can proceed to any approved center for biometric capture, as is customary.

In addition, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has implemented the usage of WhatsApp as an additional assistance and complaint channel. Candidates and other stakeholders would be able to communicate with one another in real time and receive answers to any questions they may have about the Board’s operational processes as a result of this additional platform.

To this purpose, ASD Technologies, the company that created the WhatsApp solution, announced that the platform would provide assistance with things like the “step-by-step” registration procedure, as well as a feedback mechanism to ensure that services are delivered effectively.

The platform is not intended to replace, but rather to supplement, the existing ticketing system, thereby increasing access to key services, among other benefits.

Applications are invited from candidates for Supplementary Admissions in Imo State University, Owerri. Candidates must have scored up to 150 and above in the 2021/2022 JAMB examination. The purchase of forms ends on Friday, 18th February, 2022.

Candidates that did not choose Imo State University as first choice are eligible to apply, provided they visit JAMB portal on www.jamb.gov.ng in any of the JAMB accredited CBT centres and effect the change of Institution.

Supplementary form is obtainable at the cost of N10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira) only.

Interested candidates should:
1. Visit any bank and make payment using the bank branch Interswitch Paydirect platform.
2. Select supplementary application
3. Enter JAMB REG NO/NAMES eg. 7678999 BA/ Sunday Okechukwu Iyang
4. Make payment and generate receipt
5. Go to www.imsuictblog.com.ng/supplementary and validate application.
