As a passionate education blogger, I have been following the updates and developments of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for several years. I am well-versed in the registration process, examination format, and other important details related to the UTME and DE exams. I strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information to help candidates navigate the JAMB process and reach their goal of gaining admission to higher education institutions. In my blog, I cover various topics related to JAMB and provide tips and strategies to help candidates succeed. I am also dedicated to raising awareness about any issues or challenges that may arise during the registration and examination process.
Dear Sir,
Address Wrong Hausa Subject Combinations
I have an observation regarding subject combinations for Hausa as course of study in tertiary institutions. As seen in the above-mentioned lists the subject combinations for Hausa impose restrictions on candidates with subjects other than those mentioned in your ‘limited’ lists of the combinations under Hausa. This means that they would not be admitted into any institution offering B.A. Hausa. Does it mean that Literatur-in-English is a compulsory for a candidate who wants to read B.A. Hausa in his/her JUMB combinations? Literatur-in-English should be delisted from Hausa subject combinations to allow one to write JAMB.
So from experience, this is one of the reasons Hausa is losing a significant number of candidates in many, if not the whole universities. It’s unfair to Hausa. So I’m suggesting that the subject combinations of Hausa should be similar to that of Igbo and Yoruba. That is, English, Hausa and any two subjects from Arts and Social Science. Not, say, **Use of English, Hausa, Literatur-in-English and any of economics, government, history and Arabic**. What if someone has any of CRK or Islamic Studies, Geography, Fine Arts, commerce, civic education, home economics/management, agriculture etc. in his/her O’leve subjects and wants to study Hausa, would s/he not be eligible to sit for JAMB? So, in my department we’re losing students as a result of the “restricted” subject combinations given in your official lists.
Please, I’m appealing to you to address this issue in due course. Because we have been receiving complaints from candidates across the nation. Looking forward to seeing from you.
Thank you.
