JAMB Uncovers 1665 Fake A'Level Results During Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board unraveled about 1,665 fake A’level results during the 2023 Direct Entry registration.

The board mentioned that there was corruption in the A’level results verification system.

During a meeting on Tuesday in Abuja, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar disclosed this information with the leaders of the National Association of Nigeria Colleges of Education Students when they visited his office.

He said, “Out of this figure, 397 were from Colleges of Education, 453 were university diplomas, and the rest were other A’level certificates.

“It should be of grave concern if no one respects the certificate one is holding; hence, there is a need to safeguard the integrity of A’level certificates that are used to secure admission through measures that would stand the test of time.”

JAMB was surprised by the discoveries made at Bayero University, Kano. Only six out of the 148 Direct Entry applications received by the institution were found to have genuine certificates among them,” he added.
