JAMB: Over one million illegal admissions in Nigerian universities
Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has disclosed that over one million students were admitted illegally by some tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Oloyede made this statement on Thursday in Abuja during the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions. This meeting, which includes heads of tertiary institutions and other stakeholders, sets the guidelines for admissions into higher education institutions in the country.
He noted that the Board has managed to regularize 600 of these illegal admissions. Oloyede emphasized that many of the students admitted illegally do not meet the basic qualifications required for their chosen courses.
“Over one million students were admitted illegally. We registered about 600 of them because a lot of them don’t have the basic qualifications,” Oloyede said.
More details will be provided shortly.
