The Senate, on Tuesday, urged the Federal Ministry of Education, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to review the implementation of its policy making the National Identification Number (NIN) a mandatory requirement for JAMB registration.
The Senate also urged the Federal Ministry of Education and NIMC to introduce and streamline a simple and decentralised NIN registration process.
These resolutions of the upper chamber followed a motion on the floor by Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, at plenary.
He also called for the extension of the JAMB registration deadline until there is a seamless and well organised process for obtaining the NIN.
The upper chamber said students should be able to obtain their NIN in their various accredited school’s premises.
