The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has threatened to call for the scrapping of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) if it fails to reverse the low cut off points for admission into universities and polytechnics.
NANS National Public Relations Officer Bestman Okereafor made this known in a statement in Enugu on Saturday.
He said that if the demand of the association was not met it would call for the scrapping of the examination body.
Okereafor said, ”Conclusively NANS will not hesitate to call for the scrapping of JAMB if the decision is not withdrawn without further delay.
”The national leadership of the apex students governing body, National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), frowned at the drastic reduction of the JAMB unified cut off mark to 120, for admission into Nigeria universities.
”NANS sees this as a means of further degrading the level of the already falling and failing academic performance and excellence in Nigeria institutions.
JAMB after its Unified Matriculation Examination met with stakeholders, it fixed 120 and 100 as cut-off points for admission into universities and polytechnics in the country.
