The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a stern warning to applicants, explicitly stating that university admission is not for sale. The regulatory body cautioned prospective students against paying individuals or third-party platforms that claim they can guarantee entry into institutions.
This advisory comes as a measure to protect applicants from fraudulent schemes and financial exploitation. JAMB emphasized that the admission process is strictly regulated and cannot be manipulated by private entities or individuals offering such services.
By issuing this warning, the board aims to clarify the official procedures for matriculation and discourage the use of unauthorized intermediaries. Applicants are urged to rely solely on official channels and verified information provided by JAMB regarding their admission status.
The statement serves as a reminder that any promises of guaranteed admission outside of the official framework are baseless and potentially part of a scam. The board’s intervention highlights its ongoing commitment to maintaining the integrity of the national admission process.
