 He, therefore, enjoined the institutions to take advantage of the platforms to communicate, adding that the platform had provided a seamless synergy between the key stakeholders in the sector.

 Oloyede said the new platform had made the process to be shorter, faster and easier for all stakeholders and broke the jinx of tedious bureaucracy associated with the old system.

 Earlier, Prof. Kabir Bala, Vice-Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria said the training would avail the participants the opportunity to interface with other stakeholders to address the grey areas affecting JAMB admission processes.
