Etim Effiong
The Senate has urged the Federal Ministry of Education, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to review the implementation of its policy making the National Identification Number (NIN) a mandatory requirement for JAMB registration.
The Upper Chamber also called for the extension of the JAMB registration deadline until there is a seamless and well organised process for obtaining the NIN.
It further urged the Federal Ministry of Education and NIMC to introduce and streamline a simple and decentralised NIN registration process where students would be able to obtain their NIN in their various accredited school premises.
The resolutions followed a motion on the floor by Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, at a plenary.
