JAMB issues school ultimatum to disclose illegal admissions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has issued a one-month ultimatum to all tertiary institutions in the country to disclose all admissions conducted outside its Central Admissions Processing System before 2017.
The Public Communication Advisor for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday, on behalf of the board’s registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, stated the directive was aimed at enhancing transparency and fairness in the admissions process.
According to him, the attention of the board had been drawn to the predilection of some institutions to admit candidates outside the approved Central Admissions Processing System platform and process such through illegal admissions window.
To close this abused window, the board has decided that all institutions should disclose all candidates illegally admitted prior to 2017, whose records are in their system within the next one month.
Consequently, the board is terminating the aspect of the CUIIA process which allows completely unregistered candidates to be introduced to the system,stating that CAPS is the only authorised platform for admissions.
