NYSC & JAMB to set up a bilateral committee to address issue of abuse of regularization



    The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, and the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB, have agreed to set up a bilateral committee to address issue of abuse of regularization of admissions by corps producing institutions.

   According to reports, this followed a complaint by the NYSC management to JAMB alleging irregularities in the process, thereby making mobilization of prospective corps members difficult for it.
   This was disclosed during a meeting of the two executives, in Abuja. The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. IshaqOloyede while lamenting the rate some students are desperate to regularize their admissions said that from the last quarter of 2016, they received 953 applications for change of date of birth with 77 out of it approved, 68 applications for change of state/local government area, 39 applications approved, 518 applications for correction of name and 423 approved.
   He stressed the need for  collaboration to be able to perform optimally, noting that lack of synergy among government agencies was responsible for lapses.
While responding, the Director General of the NYSC, Brig-General Suleiman Kazaue solicited cooperation of JAMB to have access to the number of students admitted on yearly basis.
