We’ve heard the questions. Here are the facts.
The proposed UTME centre in Ottawa has generated conversations, questions and different opinions. And that’s okay.
As a public institution, JAMB welcomes scrutiny and remains committed to being accountable to the people we serve. But accountability works best when it is grounded in facts, context and fairness.
The Ottawa proposal is about expanding access to eligible Nigerians abroad, not establishing another permanent JAMB office or spending public funds on a new facility. It is also part of a wider effort to strengthen the connection between Nigerians in the diaspora and Nigerian tertiary education.
We will continue to listen, answer questions and be held to account. We only ask that, as we hold institutions and people in public service to account, we also remain objective, fair and mindful of the responsibility we all have to promote what is possible for Nigeria.
Questions are welcome. Facts should lead the conversation.
