The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has uncovered about 3,000 Nigerian students who falsified as graduates. JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, announced this in a meeting with the delegation of the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State Universities in Nigeria, COPSUN, in Abuja. Oloyede also condemned the illegal admissions practice in some universities across the country. “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 is an embarrassment and a disservice to the nation”.
The examination body had earlier warned candidates to refrain from accepting admissions offered without full academic participation.
