Minister of Education, Mall. Adamu Adamu, out of compassion, approved a final batch of these underhand admissions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be recalled that based on that act of magnanimity, the Board had placed relevant advertisements in three national dailies (Blueprint, Guardian and Vanguard) of 24th November 2021. The same notice was featured on the Board\u2019s website coupled with an easy-to-use Advisory issued to all institutions of higher learning to guide them on how these candidates could be redeemed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on available data, close to one million undisclosed illegal institutional admissions have been disclosed so far. What is, however, surprising is that, as of today, less than 5% of such students\u2019 details had been uploaded on the Board portal by the institutions as required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s even more egregious to note that even among the few that had been uploaded by the schools on the Board portal many of the schools had not correctly keyed in their details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JAMB urged institutions to immediately upload appropriately the matriculation numbers, names, disciplines, year of graduation and other necessary details of the candidates for the Board to process the candidates\u2019 condonement applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has discovered one million illegal institutional admissions so far.
