Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it uncovered at least 1,665 fake A-level results during the 2023 Direct Entry registration exercise.
The Board said the A-level results verification regime was occasioned by the endemic corruption associated with the system and was intended to restore the integrity of this component of admission process.
The Registrar of JAMB, Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this when he received the leadership of the National Association of Nigeria Colleges of Education Students (NANCES) in his office in Abuja.
Oloyede revealed that out of this figure, 397 were from colleges of education, 453 were university diplomas, and the rest were other A’level certificates.
