Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar of the board, said some of the
affected institutions have failed to matriculate any student in the last five
years.
According to JAMB’s latest bulletin, Oloyede spoke during a
two-day refresher training for all its admission desk officers.
The training was held at the JAMB headquarters in Abuja last
week.
Oloyede said admitting students for a degree programme
without matriculation amounts to a flagrant disregard for extant regulations of
the board.
“A number of them got approval to operate no doubt, but they
never bother following other requisite regulations thereafter, they just
continue running the institutions their own way,” he said.
“How can a school that never admitted any candidate continue
to issue certificates and graduating students?”
Oloyede said the erring institutions who did not matriculate
their students in any given year will be regarded as not having admitted
students in that year.
He said the institutions would only be running their
programmes at risk as graduates from such institutions would not be mobilized
for their compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
Oloyede asked the desk officers to constantly communicate
with institutions, particularly if there is any reason for which the schools
could not be permitted to matriculate.
