Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu on his own part said he has directed JAMB and tertiary institutions to proceed with the conduct of their 2020/2021 admissions which will commence in August.

Adamu said “As major stakeholders, we must jointly come up with reactions that would realign our programmes to these new realities. JAMB and tertiary institutions could take advantage of the current situation, consider candidates with previous years SSCE and other qualifying results, to proceed on with the admission process. Whatever arrangement that the country comes up within the long run will surely accommodate those who will be taking the examination when the opportunity to do so is worked out.”
