- Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) is set to enforce a new rule before
offering admission to students
- JAMB says it would require the records of
Ordinary and Advanced Level results of
candidates
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has said before offering
any student admission it would demand
for the records of Ordinary and
Advanced Level results of candidates
recommended by tertiary institutions.
Prof Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of
JAMB said this during this year’s
meeting on admissions exercise/
processes for Innovative Enterprise
Institutions in Abuja on Tuesday,
September 26.
”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.
“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?” Oloyede said.
The registrar further said the board
would stop the "regularisation of all
forms of illegal admissions conducted by
tertiary institutions from this year .”
He said: "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 (results).”
Daily Trust findings revealed that the
amount was generated from the various
registration fees for candidates who sat
for JAMB’s Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations (UTME)
from 2011 to 2015.
Over seven million candidates, who sat
for the UMTE within the five-year
period, paid between N4, 000 and N4,
600 each for registration.
