The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) said that it had discovered 3,000 fraudulent graduates who had never set foot inside a classroom. It also bemoaned the problem of certain schools’ unlawful admissions, which it claimed continued to be a cause of shame for the nation.
In a report that was included in the board bulletin, the Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, revealed this information when meeting with the Committee of Pro-Chancellors of State Universities leadership.

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede declared: “Some ‘graduates’ had never entered the four walls of a university owing to the endemic corruption in the system but the board had documented over 3,000 of such cases.
“Illegal admission of candidates into tertiary institutions in the country is an embarrassment and a disservice to the nation,” the bulletin read.
