Universities given one-month ultimatum by JAMB to disclose illegal admissions

All tertiary institutions in Nigeria have been given one month by The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to disclose all admissions conducted outside its Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, before 2017.

Public Communication Advisor for JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja on behalf of the board’s registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, on Sunday.

Benjamin stated that the directive is aimed at enhancing transparency and fairness in the admissions process.

His words, “The attention of the Board has been drawn to the predilection of some institutions to admit candidates outside the approved Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) platform and process such through the condonement of illegal admissions window to accord legitimacy.

“In order to close this abused window, the Board has decided that: all institutions should now (or never) disclose all candidates illegally-admitted prior to 2017 whose records are in their system within the next one month beginning from 1st August, 2024; and any admission purportedly given prior to 2017 will no longer be recognised or condoned unless disclosed within this one-month window.

“Institutions are advised to comply with this directive as there will not be any further condonement of hitherto unrecorded candidates who did not even register with JAMB not to talk of sitting for any entrance examination.

“This move is aimed at curbing illegal admissions and falsification of records, while ensuring compliance with the provisions of CAPS.”
