JAMB unveils digitised platform for schools, regulatory agencies By Uji Abdullahi Iliyasu Abuja The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has unveiled an improved digital platform for prompt communication among the nation’s tertiary institutions and their regulatory agencies. A statement from the board’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol Dr Fabian Benjamin, to Blueprint Monday, disclosed that the board formally unveiled the automated platform at a virtual meeting hosted at its national headquarters, Bwari, Abuja. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, in his remarks at the launch said the board would migrate completely to its digitised communication channels from January 1, 2023. “This would ensure the full transition from a paper communication system to a paperless regime. “The Board has decided to roll out another innovation which would result in the automation of a platform that would reduce delays in the accreditation and general administration matters between JAMB, regulatory agencies or institutions. “Having been able to automate the applications of over two million students, we have now put our heads together to streamline what we are doing on admission and accreditation matters,” Oloyede said. The registrar added that from the first day of January, 2023, the board would not receive any paper communication from any regulatory agency or institution. “With over 890 institutions in the country, JAMB and all the regulatory agencies should adopt a state-of-the-art communication strategy to take critical rea-time decisions on admission-related issues for candidates, accreditation and available programmes (courses), among other issues. , “The conduct of the board’s critical operations, increase efficiency, track communications and archive records of such communications.” Oloyede said to achieve this, the board’s Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) has been upgraded to also serve as a communication channel between the board on one hand and each of the regulatory agencies (NUC, NCCE, NBTE) and every tertiary institution in Nigeria on the other hand.
