 FRC Accuses JAMB of Failing to Remit ₦3.6 Billion in Operating Surplus


The House of Representatives has directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to remit ₦3.602 billion to the Federal Government’s Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF). The decision was made during an investigative hearing held by the Public Accounts Committee in Abuja, following allegations by the Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) regarding unremitted operating surplus.


Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Rep. Bamidele Salam, emphasized that the remittance was a legal obligation and not subject to personal interpretation. He clarified that JAMB’s argument regarding the difference between 25% and 50% remittance rates had no bearing on the case. The Committee ordered JAMB to make the payment within 30 days and provide evidence of the remittance to the FRC.


The FRC representative, Bello Aliyu, informed the Committee that JAMB had a liability of ₦390.725 million as of 2021, which had increased to ₦3.602 billion by 2022. Despite multiple reminders, JAMB had failed to respond to the FRC’s notices. Mufutau Bello, JAMB’s Director of Finance and Administration, acknowledged the difference in remittance expectations, attributing the confusion to the FRC's push for a 50% remittance, while JAMB had been operating under a 25% concession granted by the Office of the Accountant-General.
