JAMB: 1.1M CANDIDATES YET TO ACCEPT THEIR ADMISSION

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that out of the 1.6 million candidates that the board recommended for admission in the 2017/2018 Academic session, only about 500,000 candidates have accepted their admission.
The Board”s Head of Media Dr Fabian Benjamin said the figure for the 2018 admission year is more than the numbers recorded for previous years due to the flexibility of the cut-off mark and also the availability of data through the JAMB CAPS  (Central Admission Processing system).
The admission process ended January 25th, 2018. However, candidates can still accept their admission on the JAMB portal. This means that the remaining 1.1 candidates who are yet to accept their admission can still do so.
Dr Fabian Benjamin said most schools have completed their admission process, those yet to complete are at 95% completion.

No fewer than seven persons, who suffered varying degrees of injury, have also been hospitalized.

 

They were said to have attended a seminar organised by the state government in Oyo town and were returning to their respective destinations in Ogbomoso when a tanker rammed into a bus they were in.
It was learnt that the tanker driver veered onto the bus lane in an attempt to dodge a pothole but crashed into the bus.
The three principals, an account clerk, and the bus driver, whose identities had yet to be ascertained, died on the spot, while seven others who were injured, were rushed to the Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso.

“I learnt that one of the deceased principals, Mr. Ogunremi, was supposed to retire in a few weeks’ time. They were returning from a workshop in Oyo town,” a source said.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Waheed Olojede, who is also the secretary of the state chapter of the National Union of Teachers, confirmed the fatalities, adding that five others were critically injured.
He blamed the Oyo State Ministry of Education for directing 340 participants from schools in Ogbomoso to travel to Oyo town for the workshop, saying a centre should have been created in Ogbomoso considering the large number.

 

He said, “The entire labour movement under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress and Joint Negotiating Council, led by Emmanuel Ogundiran and me, have visited the injured victims and families of the deceased.
OYO STATE NUT MOURNS DEATH OF 3 PRINCIPALS INVOLVED IN A ROAD ACCIDENT
“The NUT in the state received the news with rude shock. The NUT and labour movement are worried and disturbed about the wrong decision taken by the education ministry to compel 340 participants from 85 secondary schools in Ogbomoso to attend a workshop in Oyo town when simple reason and logic is supposed to have guided the ministry’s decision to create a centre in Ogbomoso for the workshop while the facilitators move there.
“Labour advises that the ministry and other government agencies should always consider the number of participants as a key factor in determining the venue for future workshops.”
