In a statement issued on Sunday by Fabian Benjamin, spokesman of
the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), board has withdrawn
the list of recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to the
tertiary institutions.
The examination body explained that the decision was to ensure that
the Senate of Universities perform their 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 Minister of
Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, at the policy committee meeting.
The statement read;
“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.”
