The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says any candidate who chooses to get an underhand admission should face the consequences.
This comes as the Board underlined that all tertiary institution admissions must go via it.
The caution, which was posted on its official X account on Sunday, was in response to a user’s request that the board improve the admittance regularization procedure.
Adenkule Adu @adu_adenkunke1 had urged JAMB to include in its portal a better channel to get regularization done without visiting the office.
@adu_adenkunke1 complained that he has been patronising the office in his state for months but kept getting excuses.
“It is high time JAMB improved the admission regularisation process.
“JAMB should include in its it portal a better channel to get this done without visiting the office.
“I’ve been patronising the office in my state for months now, they kept giving me excuses,” he wrote.
However, JAMB replied that the admonition should rather be to stop the exercise (regularization) in its entirety.
JAMB wrote: “The admonition should rather be to stop the exercise in its entirety.
“The policy is clear, ‘all tertiary institutions admission must be processed through JAMB…’As such, any candidate that chooses to get an underhand admission should face the consequences’.
“How would you be involved in illegality and still gets effrontery to offer advice on how the correction process should be carried out? Be guided.”
