Over one million students admitted illegally – JAMB

 

Over one million students were admitted illegally by some tertiary institutions in the country, Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof Is-haq Oloyede has said.

Oloyede stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions.

The policy meeting, which has heads of tertiary institutions in the country, and other stakeholders, sets the tone for admissions into tertiary institutions in the country.

He said the Board has been able to regularise 600 of the numbers admitted illegally.

Oloyede said a lot of the students with illegal admissions don’t have the basic qualifications into the course they registered to study.

 

“Over 1 million students were admitted illegally. We registered about 600 of them because a lot of them don’t have the basic qualifications,” Oloyede said
