The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a crucial institution in Nigeria's educational system. Since its establishment, JAMB has played a pivotal role in shaping the course of exams and admissions.
JAMB Past Questions: A Game-Changer in Exam Preparation
One of the most significant developments in JAMB's history was the introduction of past questions. Prior to this innovation, students lacked adequate resources to prepare for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) effectively. However, Green Bridge CBT has revolutionized exam preparation by providing over 65,000 past questions and answers.
Mr. Olarewaju Iraoya: A Pioneer in Exam Standardization
In the early 1970s, Mr. Olarewaju Iraoya, a renowned educationist, envisioned a standardized exam system in Nigeria. His passion for providing a level playing field for all aspiring university students culminated in the establishment of JAMB in 1978.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde: The Digital Innovator
During his tenure as the Registrar of JAMB from 2007 to 2016, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde spearheaded the digital transformation of the examination process. He introduced the concept of Computer Based Testing (CBT), revolutionizing the way candidates take their exams. This change drastically reduced examination malpractice and ensured quicker result processing.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin: The Communication Guru
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the current Head of Public Affairs for JAMB, has been instrumental in enhancing transparency and keeping candidates informed. Through press releases, media engagements, and the official JAMB website, Dr. Benjamin has made JAMB's activities more accessible to the public. His efforts have greatly improved trust in the examination body.
Prof. Is-haq Oloyede: The Reformist
Appointed as the Registrar of JAMB in 2016, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede has been a catalyst for reforms. With a focus on eradicating irregularities in the admission process, he introduced the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). This online platform ensures fairness and transparency in the selection of candidates for tertiary institutions.
JAMB Mobile App: Empowering Exam Preparation
In response to the increasing reliance on smartphones, Green Bridge CBT developed a user-friendly Android mobile app. The app allows students to practice past questions offline, thereby enabling them to study anytime, anywhere.
Thanks to the collective efforts of these visionaries, JAMB has transformed the education landscape in Nigeria. Their contributions have not only improved exam preparation but also enhanced the integrity of the admissions process. As we celebrate JAMB's milestones, let us acknowledge the pioneers who have steered this institution towards success.
