Fa bian Benjamin, JAMB’s head of media and information, disclosed this in the board’s weekly bulletin, JAMBULLETIN.
Benjamin later explained that out of the N5 billion returned to the federal government, N2 billion was given back to the board to enhance its operation.
“Technically, the board returned N5 billion to the federal government but out of that amount, the board was handed N2 billion to further enhance its operation,” he said.

Following the huge amount recorded from the last UTME, the federal government ordered a reduction in examination fees from N5000 to N3,500.
