Nigerian Universities illegally admitted over a million students, we have regularized about 600 of them –JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has disclosed that over a million students have been admitted illegally into tertiary institutions.
The Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this revelation on Thursday, July 18, in Abuja at the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions.
The policy meeting, which is usually attended by heads of tertiary institutions and other stakeholders in the country, sets the tone for admissions into tertiary institutions.
According to Oloyede, the Board has been able to regularize 600 of the numbers admitted illegally.
He added that a lot of these students do not even have the basic qualifications for the course they registered to study.
“Over 1 million students were admitted illegally. We registered about 600 of them because a lot of them don’t have the basic qualifications,” Oloyede said.
