The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Monday claimed that it generated and remitted over N6bn to the coffers of the Nigerian government in 2024.

JAMB made this claim in an announcement on the board’s weekly bulletin released on Monday by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

According to bulletin, JAMB generated a total income of N22,996,653,265.25 in 2024, out of which N6,034,605,510.69 was remitted to the federal government.

It added that the board noted that the reduction of N1,500 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination form fees for candidates, multiplied by the number of beneficiaries, increased the effective remittance to N9,013,068,510.69.

The board also said the remittance formed part of its operating surplus following the successful conduct of the 2024 UTME.

The board also said it had contributed over N50bn to the national treasury over the past seven years under the leadership of its Registrar/Chief Executive, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.

The report partly stated: “As we reflect on 2024, it is essential to uphold our commitment to transparency by sharing our financial performance for the year. In 2024, the board generated a total income of N22,996,653,265.25.

“In 2024, the board remitted N6,034,605,510.69 to the government.

“When combined with the N1,500 reduction per form for candidates multiplied by the number of candidates that benefited in 2024, the total remittance by JAMB would amount to N9,013,068,510.69.”
