Similarly the House members equally
asked the Federal Ministry of Education to equally ensure that the cost of
other services like Change of Course and institution form be either free or be
reduced to at least N500.
According to James Faleke (APC,
Lagos) who proposed the motion, JAMB has become a profit making venture to
the detriment of educational and social development of the country.
He reminded the members of the
house that JAMB as a government agency is not set up for profit making but
to promote educational development of the young citizens in pursuit of their
professional careers.
At the end, the house
mandated its committee on basic education to ensure compliance and report
back in two weeks.
