The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to commence the weekly publication of its financial activities.
According to the Head, Media and Information of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, this development was in compliance to directives by President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure accountability and transparency in public service.
Benjamin, in an interview in Lagos on Monday said, “The board has concluded plans to commence a weekly publication, “Jambulletin” for the public.
“This is in compliance with President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration’s directive to full disclosure of all financial transactions in the public sector, in line with his transparency agenda.
“This bulletin will therefore, contain the board’s financial inflow and expenditure for every week.
