The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has disclosed that some tertiary institutions in the country illegally admitted over one million students.
JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, revealed this on Thursday in Abuja at the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions.
The policy meeting, which has heads of tertiary institutions in the country, and other stakeholders in attendance, sets the tone for admissions into tertiary institutions in the country.
Oloyede said the Board has been able to regularise 600 of the numbers admitted illegally.
He added that a lot of the students with illegal admissions do not 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.
