I’ll Make INEC Truly Independent – New INEC Chairman, Amupitan Vows

Professor Joash Amupitan, the nominee for the chairmanship of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made a promise to Nigerians.
He vowed to strengthen the independence of the nation’s electoral body if confirmed for the position.
Appearing before the Senate Committee on the Whole on Thursday afternoon for his screening, Amupitan said that his top priority would be to explore constitutional provisions to ensure that the Commission operates as a truly independent institution, free from political or financial interference.
Addressing questions from lawmakers, the professor noted that over the years, the independence of INEC has been undermined by two key factors — financial limitations and a lack of full understanding of the law by both the Commission and other arms of government.
According to him, these challenges have often made the Commission appear dependent on the executive arm, especially in budgetary matters and operational decisions.
He stressed that as the electoral umpire, INEC must have the authority to make decisions without external pressure to maintain credibility in the electoral process.
Amupitan assured the Senators that, if confirmed, he would make full use of the constitutional powers granted to the Commission to safeguard its autonomy and strengthen its institutional capacity.
He further explained that a truly independent electoral body is essential for building public confidence in Nigeria’s elections, adding that he would prioritise transparency, accountability, and technological innovation in INEC’s operations.
While responding to additional questions, Amupitan also expressed his commitment to improving voter education, enhancing electoral logistics, and ensuring that future elections are free, fair, and reflective of the people’s will.
He concluded by saying that Nigeria’s democracy can only thrive when the electoral umpire operates independently and within the full spirit of the Constitution.

JAMB Still Prerequisite For Admission Into Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria – Board Dismisses Rumours

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed reports by a news outlet claiming that the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is no longer a requirement for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

A statement by JAMB’s Director of Public Affairs and Protocols, Dr Fabian Benjamin said the information was malicious, insisting that the Minister of Education, Dr Mauruf Alausa, never made any such announcements.

Dr Benjamin then urged the general public to disregard the unfounded information, noting that JAMB will continue to discharge its statutory duties in line with its enabling laws.

The statement said, ”Our attention has been drawn to fallacious information published by Phonix.browser.com on 16th October, 2025, stating that, “JAMB is no longer a prerequisite for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

”We wish to categorically state that the information is malicious and preposterous, as Hon. Minister of Education Dr. Mauruf Alausa, has at no point, made such a pronouncement.

”The misquoted statement, ‘Renewed Hope in Action: Federal Government Streamlines Admission Requirements to Expand Access to Tertiary Education’ was a part of the federal government efforts to increase access to tertiary education in Nigeria.

”We therefore call on the general public to disregard the unfounded information and take note that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) shall continue to discharge its statutory duties in line with its enabling laws.”
