Reps To Probe Revenue Generated, Remitted By JAMB

[Shola Sholaz]

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 Rep. 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.
