The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the withdrawal of
the 2016 admission list earlier sent to all tertiary institutions in the country.
In a
statement signed by the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin,
the board said institutions are now to make their own list to JAMB in-line with
Federal Government’s guideline on admissions.
“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.
“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.
