On Tuesday, the Senate 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.
They called for the extension of the JAMB registration deadline until there is a seamless and well organized process for obtaining the NIN.
The Senate further urged the Federal Ministry of Education and NIMC to introduce and streamline a simple and decentralized NIN registration process where students would be able to obtain their NIN in their various accredited school premises.
