Thursday, July 4, 2024 -The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has uncovered 3,000 fake graduates who never attended any tertiary institution.
JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede,
made this known during a meeting with the leadership of the Committee of
Pro-Chancellors of State Universities.
The details of the meeting were
contained in a report published in the board’s bulletin.
According to the bulletin, Oloyede
said: "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 a disservice to
the nation."
The issue of illegal admissions has
been of interest and concern to JAMB over the years.
Recall that 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.
