Nigeria Education Minister, Adamu Adamu has said the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had remitted about N29 billion directly into the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF).

Adamu made this known at a policy meeting on admissions into tertiary institutions in Abuja.

The minister said the board had also granted over N1 billion to tertiary institutions and expended more than N2 billion on capital projects.

He added that the board had reserved N6 billion for its future expansion and as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
