The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that 96 per cent of A-level results submitted to Bayero University, Kano (BUK) for Direct Entry admission in 2024 were forged.

According to the examination body in its bulletin, out of 148 A-level results presented to BUK, only six were genuine, while the remaining 142 were fake. This was uncovered during routine screening and verification.

Following this discovery, JAMB has urged tertiary institutions to verify all submitted documents to prevent fraudulent admissions independently. To address this issue, JAMB introduced the Nigeria Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (NIPEDS) two years ago, which helped detect fake A-level certificates, including those from foreign institutions.

Recently, the agency said 13 more fake A-level certificates were flagged through NIPEDS, some of which had already been used to secure admission offers. The body stated that the individuals involved have been handed over to law enforcement agencies for further action.

JAMB had warned that tertiary institutions admitting candidates with forged credentials may be held responsible. It emphasised that schools should not rely solely on NIPEDS for verification, but should conduct their checks.

The body disclosed that in a particular case, several applicants submitted fake Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMBE) results from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, in an attempt to gain admission.

The examination body reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating fraud in the admission process and urged institutions to work together to ensure that only qualified candidates are admitted based on merit

One Nijeriya!

FreeStuffsNG:
NUC should de-acredit the school. It's like NUC is leaving all the fight against election malpractice to JAMB alone.

How on earth should a school admitting almost 100% candidates with fake results still be holding and operating a university license? It's preposterous!

The National Assembly should please come to the aid of JAMB.

When Prof Ishaq Oloyede leaves office after 2026. JAMB will definitely be compromised. The only standing public institution without corruption in Nigeria.
