The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned higher institutions that failure to submit lists of admitted students immediately after matriculation will result in severe consequences.
This directive is part of efforts to combat fake degree racketeering in Nigeria.
Institutions are required to submit matriculation lists to the Federal Ministry of Education within three months through JAMB’s dedicated channel.
The Board emphasized that candidates not disclosed by institutions will not be recognized.
This development follows the Federal Government’s investigation into degree certificate milling, prompted by an exposé on fake degree mills in the Benin Republic.
The government has also banned the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from Benin Republic and Togo.
JAMB’s initiative aims to ensure transparency and authenticity in the admission process, and institutions are expected to comply promptly to avoid sanctions.
