Offenders Of Admissions Process Would Be Punished – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has come out to say that it will collaborate with security agencies to prosecute any institution or candidate, found breaching its admission’s code of operations

The board recently revealed this in its latest Weekly Bulletin made available in Abuja.

According to him, from now on, serious measures, including prosecution, would be taken against erring candidates or institutions as soon as a prima facie case is established against them.

He added that the decision is part of its resolution after the management meeting on the importance of taking out all kinds of unwholesome practices in the admission process.

His words, “The board, with zero tolerance for corrupt acts, will not fold its arms and allow unscrupulous elements to drag it back.”

“For the gains of CAPS’ initiative not to be eroded and to ensure that there are consequences for flouting government’s directive on complying with the process, the board has concluded all arrangements with relevant security agencies.

“These agencies are ready to prosecute any stakeholder, candidate, or admissions officers found wanting.”

“There should be no debate about merit.”

“Merit is merit and it is not negotiable; high-scoring candidates ought to be admitted first.’’
