The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has ordered the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), and other tertiary institutions involved in irregular admission practices to immediately reverse such admissions with immediate effect.
This directive was contained in JAMB’s weekly bulletin released on Monday in Abuja by its Public Communication Adviser, Fabian Benjamin.
The bulletin reads in part, “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has been drawn to the conduct of admissions by some tertiary institutions, where higher-ranked candidates are reportedly being bypassed in favour of lower-ranked candidates.
“The board has cautioned the affected institutions and directed the immediate reversal of such irregular admissions.
“Notwithstanding these reversals, JAMB reiterates its call on all institutions to strictly adhere to the established guidelines governing the selection and admission of candidates.”
