After the conduct of its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME),The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) remitted N5 billion to the federal government’s coffers.

This was contained in the board’s weekly bulletin, tagged ” JAMBBULLETIN” as released by Fa bian Benjamin, JAMB’s head of media and information.
