Senate Holds Parley on Open Varsity Admission From Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja Senate Committee on Education is billed to hold a consultative forum with the Ministry of Education, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the National University Commission (NUC) to resolve the disagreements arising among the bodies over the method of admission employed by NOUN. Committee chairman, Senator Abdulazeez A. Ibrahim, (PDP, Taraba State), who disclosed this at session with newsmen on the activities of his committee, weekend, said his committee has resolved that the minimum convention entry required in Nigerian universities should be applied and adhered to by NOUN. "However some concession due to its peculiarities can be granted by JAMB in the area of adult students/workers who may be admitted by direct entry and the decentralisation of admissions on zonal basis to ensure maximum access by all Nigerians," he said. According to him, NOUN has admitted and commenced studies of its first set of students numbering about 35, 000 without JAMB, a situation which he said contravened Act 33 of 1999 which states that "JAMB is the only body in Nigeria empowered to administer and effect admissions into all tertiary institutions in Nigeria."
