The House of Representatives has resolved to investigate the revenue
generated by Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and what it
remits into the Consolidated Revenue Account.
The resolution emanated from a motion moved by Ibrahim Ebbo
(PDP-Niger) in Abuja on Thursday and unanimously adopted without debate.
The House consequently mandated its committees on education and
finance to do the investigation and submit the report within four weeks.
Ebbo said in spite of the huge sum of money generated by the board yearly, there was no record as to how the money was spent.
He added that although JAMB generated revenue yearly, the Federal
Government continued to allocate funds to it to conduct examinations for
candidates going into tertiary institutions.
