Warning: Any admission ‘done under the table’ would not be regularised – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
JAMB, has said it would not regularised any
admission ‘done under the table’.
JAMB Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede made this known
on Tuesday during a meeting on admissions
exercise/processes for Innovative Enterprise
Institutions in Abuja.
The registrar tasked institutions to maintain the
standard the board set from the beginning saying
”From this year now, we are demanding records of
the O levels of the candidates you are admitting
and that is for the first time,”
Mr. Oloyede further said: “When you recommend a
person for admission we want to see what
qualification he or she possesses not just you
telling me that he or she scored 300 in UTME.
What of the real qualification?” he said.

He also said JAMB would stop the ”regularisation
of all forms of illegal admissions conducted by
tertiary institutions from this year.”
‘Any admission ‘done under the table’ would not
be regularised. Candidates and tertiary institutions
must desist from engaging in any form of illegal
admission.
‘Illegal admission in terms of people not even
taking the unified tertiary matriculation
examination, UTME at all not to talk of scoring
zero. Illegal admission by even admitting people
who do not have the requisite ordinary level (O
level) because before now JAMB does not have
the record of their O level….”
