JAMB Reveals Those Who Will Get Admission
In 2017 /2018 Session
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) on Thursday, said only
candidates who meet the O’ level and A’ level
requirements and other criteria set by
institutions would be offered admission in
2017/2018. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq
Oloyede, stated this at a Training and
Sensitization Forum on Central Admissions
Processing System (CAPS) for admission
offers, candidates and stakeholders on in
Abuja.
Prof. Oloyede said: “Scoring higher than the
cut-off mark does not guarantee admission
but makes the candidate eligible for
admission consideration. It is not UTME that
qualifies the person. It is O level, A level that
qualifies a person for admission.
“That is why you can go from here to UK, you
can go to Ghana, Uganda, Republic of Benin,
nobody ask you of your UTME, they ask for
your O level because by law it is the school cert
that qualifies you not JAMB,” he said.
He also warned that JAMB will not tolerate
illegal admissions by any higher institution.
The body also stated that students admitted
illegally won’t be regularised anymore.
“We know that we have abused the process.
What we have been doing is to send N5,000
each to JAMB in the name of regularization
without capturing their picture, without
capturing anything. You pay N5,000 and then
they are regularized.
“We have not stopped to do backlog but from
2016 upward we will not allow anybody to do
backdoor admission. Anybody that is not
properly admitted cannot benefit from
regularization.
“You cannot admit anybody under the table.
Let us know your problem and let us
collectively solve the problem so that you do
not need to do such thing.
“We don’t have accurate data because what
we have on record is different from real life.
We cannot continue to do that. We will protest
to the whole world that we have 500 students
in our institutions but in reality they are
about 1 million but 500,000 thousand have
been admitted illegally,” Oloyede remarked.
List Of ASUU Demands As Strike Is Suspended
On Conditional Basic
The Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) suspended its five-week
long strike on Monday.
This was after ASUU President Prof. Biodun
Ogunyemi told reporters Monday night that
they decided to conditionally suspend the

with the government.
The meeting was a long one with the Federal

members of staff of the institution have also
been dismissed for various offences.

investigate allegations against them.
Fehintola added that the action of the

condition of service set by the polytechnic’s
management.
He, however, maintained that the expelled
students were found guilty of examination
malpractices during the first semester
examinations in the school.
He said the students were found culpable
after appearing before a disciplinary
committee of the school.
Fehintola urged members of staff to be
committed to their work, warning that the
school would not condone any act of
indiscipline from the workers and the
students.
“We also appeal to parents and guardians to
continue to cooperate with the management

industry and uprightness”, he said.

A Facebook user, identified as Hephzibah
Buquoy Ojedele, has taken to her page to
blast the University Of Ilorin, for punishing
their students by making the male cut their
hairs and the females on trouser get
wrappers.
She wrote;
Unilorin Post UTME: I read guys are made to
cut their hair and ladies forced to rent
wrappers for #100 if wearing trousers!!! I
thought a university was supposed to open
your mind more to free thinking and not
further subjugate you to mental slavery and
propaganda borne out of political or religious
bias!
We are totally losing it in this country!
Unilorin if this is true then it’s a big shame!
You are breeding modern slaves and not free
thinkers cum intellectuals!
