JAMB Board History

By 1974, there were seven (7) Federal Universities in the country. Every one of these existing universities conducted its own concessional examination and admitted its students.

However, this system of admission revealed serious limitations and often, a waste of resources in administering the concessional examination, especially by the candidates.

The general untidiness in the uncoordinated system of admissions into universities and the attendant problems were sufficient to cause for concern to the committee of vice-chancellors.

These problems had assumed an extra dimension when by 1976, the then federal military government, under the leadership of General Olusegun Obasanjo, established six (6) additional universities.

Consequently, the government set up a national committee on university entrance under the chairmanship of Mr M. S. Angulu.

The Committee was specifically requested to consider the possibility of setting up a Joint Matriculation Board.

The Committee recommended the setting up of two (2) bodies, the Central Admissions Board and the Joint Matriculation Board.

The Federal military government accepted some recommendations of the committee and set up the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.

The legal instrument establishing the Board was, however, promulgated by the act (no. 2 of 1978) of the Federal Military Government on 13th February 1978.

By August 1988, the Federal Executive Council amended decree No. 2 of 1978 to empower the Board to conduct matriculation examinations for entry into all polytechnics.

Also, colleges of education in the country and to place suitably qualified candidates in the places in these institutions.

The amendments have since been codified into decree No. 33 of 1989, which took effect from 7th December 1989.
