PEOPLES GAZETTE

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board says it uncovered at least 1,665 fake A-level results during the direct entry registration process.

JAMB’s weekly bulletin on Tuesday said the exam body’s registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, gave the figures when he received officials of the National Association of Nigeria Colleges of Education Students in his office.

He explained that the A-level results verification was occasioned by the system’s endemic corruption and the need to restore the integrity of the admission process.

According to him, 397 of the fake results were from colleges of education, 453 were university diplomas, and the rest were for other A-level certificates.
