JAMB Uncovers 21 Admission Seekers With Forged Results

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has uncovered that during the 2023 academic session, 21 students with fake IJMB results were recommended for admission. 

Some tertiary institutions, however, did this recommendation for admission, and according to a policy document obtained in Abuja, the JAMB noted that out of the 21 candidates who were culprits of this 12 were recommended by Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.

The Boarded Started;

"JAMB discovered that 21 candidates who paraded fake IJMB results were recommended during the 2023 admission. They were not approved,"

The board however emphasized that all certificates must bear the signature of the institution's head, whether the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, or Rector, as this leak highlights an important lapse in the admission process. The board also stated that these recommendations were made possible due to inadequate certificate screening procedures at the institutions involved.

The Board spokesperson further said; 

"These proactive measures, as well as others that are in the pipeline, are to ensure that the gains recorded in the education sector, especially the examination sub-sector, over the years, are not eroded by unscrupulous individuals," 

This revelation is indeed proof of the importance of the Nigerian Post-Secondary Education Data System verification platform by JAMB, which was developed in 2021 to fight against the faking of IJMB and JUPEB results.
