JAMB Condemns Fee Charged By Institutions For Change Of Course

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has described as illegal the amount of money charged by institutions as change of course fee

This was disclosed by the Head of Media and Information of the board, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in a chat with newsmen.

According to him, once a candidate registers for UTME he/she automatically becomes an applicant in all the over 300 tertiary institutions in the country.

He further stressed that this was part of the reason JAMB made provision for one preferred university, one polytechnic and one college of education in their application forms so as to broaden their chances of securing admission at any level.

Concerning the readiness of JAMB for this year’s UTME, he stated that the board would not leave any stone unturned to conduct a hitch-free exam far better than the last edition.

Meanwhile, for candidates who would like to effect changes in either their courses or institutions, you will be able to do that after you have sat for the exam and your result released.

Party Gone Wrong as one Lasu Student died and the other Unconscious

The 2016 Annual Award Night of the students of the Department of History, Lagos State University, turned tragic as a female student died while another one became unconscious after taking a mixture of different alcoholic drinks.
The two students, identified as Lara Gbadeyan and Oladipupo Arofeso, Sunday Tribune gathered, were both rushed to Igando General Hospital, where Gbadeyan was confirmed dead and Arofeso unconscious.
Sunday Tribune gathered that the deceased and the unconscious student had gone with their colleagues in the department to Igando, where the event took place.
Some of their colleagues told the police in the state that the duo took a mixture of Magic Moment (vodka), Elliot, Orijin and Smirnoff Ice at the event.
The two students were said to have started misbehaving “until some of their colleagues came to their senses that it was the effect of the alcohol on them.”
The misbehaviour from the two female students created confusion among their colleagues, who made frantic efforts to revive them, Sunday Tribune gathered.
But the situation reportedly became more serious as the two female students became unconscious, leading to their colleagues to rush them to the General Hospital in Igando.
A source at the Igando Divisional police station confirmed the incident to Sunday Tribune, noting that investigations had commenced on the incident.
The police source also told Sunday Tribune that the remains of the deceased student had been deposited at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for autopsy.
He also added that the other student had remained at the Igando General Hospital, where she was receiving attention from health workers.

NYSC Fraud Alert–Beware of‘Scam Artists

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC fraud alert to prospective Corps members. PCM are warned not to make payments for posting or change of posting.

The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to the activities of some hackers sending messages requesting prospective Corps members to go and check their states of deployment online.
They refer their victims to a link and ask them to enter their login details as well as choices made during their online registration.

Management wishes to inform prospective Corps members that posting to states of deployment has not commenced; but will be done at the appropriate time in line with our laid down processes.

The so-called “link” being sent to prospective Corps members is handiwork of cyber criminals and should, therefore, be disregarded.
Prospective Corps members are particularly warned not to make payments for posting or change of posting as that is clearly the motive of the cyber criminals.
Management will inform prospective Corps members as soon as their posting letters are ready for printing online or delivery to their various institutions of graduation.
