JAMB Accuses University of Abuja, Others Of Granting Illegal Admissions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has accused some universities of giving illegal admission to candidates.

JAMB specifically mentioned the University of Abuja, which it said, had been reported to be issuing admission letters to candidates without recourse to JAMB.

The organisation advised all candidates not to accept any admissions that were not provisioned on its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).

A message sent to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Abuja, Prof. Abdul-rasheed Na’allah; and the spokesperson of the institution for responses were not replied as at the time of this report.

However, a  statement on Tuesday by the Head, Public Affairs and Protocols, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said , “Admission done outside CAPS is an illegitimate admission that will not be sanctioned by JAMB.”

The statement was titled: “Caveat Emptor: Illegal admissions by some institutions.”
