Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remy Njoku has sparked debate after calling for the scrapping of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Nigeria’s central body for tertiary education admissions.
In a social media post, Njoku questioned the relevance of JAMB and asked why students cannot simply use their Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results to gain admission into universities or other tertiary institutions.
The actress recounted her own negative experience with JAMB, revealing that the exam nearly blocked her from attending the institution of her choice. She noted that the setback eventually led her into acting — a career path she’s now grateful for.
