In its weekly bulletin released on Monday, JAMB stated that the meeting will be chaired by the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, and will include key stakeholders from the education sector.
“These critical stakeholders include Heads of regulatory agencies such as the National University Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), National Council for Colleges of Education (NCCE), Heads of tertiary institutions in the country, and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), among others,” the bulletin noted.
