The Senate today passed a resolution reducing the
registration fee of Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) N5,650 to N2,500.
At the plenary session today, the senators
recommended the extension of the validity period
of the UTME to three academic year.

The resolution was taken following the adoption of
the report of the Senate Committee on Tertiary
Institutions and TETFund on the inquiry into the
new admission policy of the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB).

They also resolved to amend the Act establishing
JAMB to reflect the extension of the validity period
which is at the moment a year.
