The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it is set to chart policy directions for the nation’s tertiary institutions.

The board, which made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar on Monday in Abuja, stated this was part of issues to be deliberated on at its 2022 Policy Meeting slated for Thursday.

The meeting according to the board, will also kickstart the 2022/2023 admissions process into tertiary institutions in the country.

JAMB also said that it would also hold its National Tertiary Admissions Performance Merit (NATAP-M) awards on the same day, at the International Conference Center, Abuja.

According to the board, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, is expected to be the chairman of the meeting as well as the Chief Host of the award presentation.

It said that both events would have in attendance Heads of Tertiary Institutions, Heads of Regulatory Agencies in the education sector and other critical stakeholders.

According to the board, the Policy Meeting, which would hold before the award presentation, would discuss issues emanating from the presentation by the board’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede.

The presentation, it noted, would dwell on the 2022 UnifiedTertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry applications, as well as set the tone for the 2022/23 admission exercise.
