The House of Representatives urged the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to extend the validity of the UTME result for three-years.
This call followed a motion moved by Akintunde Rotimi, on Wednesday.
Moving the motion, Rotimi said other examinations, like those of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO) have indefinite validity.
He noted that JAMB continues to ignore the impact of strike on the academic calendar with its single use examination results.
“Despite the incessant strikes embarked upon by ASUU which led to the loss of a complete academic calendar, JAMB still went ahead to administer its examination without recourse to the vailing industrial action by ASUU,” Mr Rotimi said.
Following the presentation of the motion, the House, therefore, resolved that the “ministry of education should put mechanisms in place to ensure that these resolutions are executed.
