The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has withdrawn the list of recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to the tertiary
institutions, the Board said in a statement on Sunday.
“This is to ensure that the University
Senate perform its statutory
responsibility of conducting the selection of candidates and refer it to JAMB for confirmation in line with the
admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states as directed by the Hon Minister of Education at the policy committee meeting,” Fabian Benjamin, the organisation’s head of media, said in a
statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES. “The earlier list was sent to help fast track the process of admission so as
to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their admission. “Candidates should not panic because
this is part of the process of the 2016 admission exercise. JAMB regrets any inconvenience this decision would have caused the tertiary institutions “The Board regrets any inconvenience
it’s proactive step would have caused
the tertiary institutions.”
