“JAMB should revise the window of post-graduation regularization by introducing measures that will make it impossible for institutions to abuse the regularization of admissions process.”

The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede who confirmed the abuse during a meeting of the two executives in Abuja noted that the JAMB body had taken measures to address the issue.

Prof. Oloyede, while quoting the NYSC letter, lamented the rate some students are desperate to regularize their admission.
