JAMB: Board Warns Against Illegal Admissions, Threatens Sanc

The management of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has threatened to sanction any official in Nigerian tertiary institutions engaging in illegal admissions of students.

The Board, in a statement obtained by Punch, warned that anyone who accepts any admission not approved on the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) and tertiary institution officials involved in illegal admissions would have themselves to blame. 

“In a bid to give effect to the directives of the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board restated its vow not to condone any illegal admission conducted by any institution going forward, adding that candidates who accept any admission not approved on the Central Admissions Processing System would have themselves to blame while heads of institutions who flout this directive would be sanctioned.

“The era of candidates accepting illegal admissions and then mounting pressure on the board to condone the same is over as the candidate would also be treated as an accomplice to the criminal act.

“For the avoidance of doubt, all admissions to Nigerian tertiary institutions must be done through the Central Admissions Processing System.

"Therefore, no candidate is deemed admitted until he/she has printed such an offer of admission from the CAPS platform," the statement read in part.

JAMB in 2021 exposed over  70,000 illegal admissions and has been at loggerheads with Nigeran institutions over unapproved admissions by the acceptable system, CAPS, Punch reports.
