JAMB UNCOVERS 3,000 FAKE GRADUATES

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has uncovered 3,000 fake graduates who never set foot within the four walls of a classroom.

The board also decried the issue of illegal admissions by some institutions, which it said, had remained a source of embarrassment to the country.

The registrar, Prof. Isaq Oloyede, made this known in a report published in the board’s bulletin.

According to the bulletin, Oloyede, disclosed this during a meeting with the leadership of the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State Universities.

“Some ‘graduates’ had never entered the four walls of a university owing to the endemic corruption in the system but the board had documented over 3,000 of such cases.

Illegal admission of candidates into tertiary institutions in the country is an embarrassment and disservice to the nation” the bulletin read.

The issue of illegal admission has, over the years, been at the forefront of JAMB’s priorities.

In December 2023, the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education ordered JAMB to present a list of tertiary institutions that had conducted irregular and illegal admissions.

The examination body had earlier warned candidates to desist from accepting admissions offered by such institutions without full academic participation.

In the statement entitled, “Cessation of illegal/irregular admission” JAMB reiterated that all applications for admissions to first degree, national diploma, national innovation diploma and the Nigeria certificate in education into full-time, distance learning, part-time, outreach, sandwich, etc, must be processed only through JAMB.
