The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB has uncovered 1,665 fake A Level results during the 2023 Direct Entry registration exercise, with corruption being a major issue in the verification process.
JAMB Registrar, Professor. Is-haq Oloyede, made this disclosure when he received the leadership of the National Association of Nigeria Colleges of Education Students, NANCES, in his office on Tuesday in Abuja.
Oloyede said the A-level results verification regime was characterized by corruption associated with the system.He stated that JAMB was shocked by the revelations from Bayero University, Kano, where out of the 148 Direct Entry applications to the institution, only six of the certificates forwarded for processing were genuine.
He added that JAMB has also implemented a “No verification, No admission” policy and requires institutions with unverified candidates to pre-verify them before completing their registration process.
