The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warn higher institutions to desist from all forms of fraudulent practices like admission of unqualified candidates into their institutions.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede gave this warning on Monday during a meeting with critical stakeholders on the board’s strategic planning and preparation for the suspension and administration of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Abuja.
The Registrar said activities like denying candidates screening scores to disqualify them, lowering of merit aggregate cut off marks to favour others, satisfaction of candidates into programmes before summation of scores should be avoided by institutions.
Oloyede went on to say that institutions should desist from such act as the 2019 admission process would be done purely on merits.
“Tutorials operators are causing damages to education because parents are just there because of the results they churned out in previous years. So they go to any extent to get good results. They are not teaching these children anything, they are faking results for them their work is to corrupt the system” he said.
