Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Professor Is-haq Oloyede says all admissions in the country’s tertiary institutions for the 2020/2021 academic session would end by June 15, 2021.
Professor Oloyede said the decision was reached collectively at a virtual meeting between the JAMB and heads of tertiary Institutions in the country.
JAMB registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede said the meeting was aimed at knowing the level institutions have reached on the 2020/21 admissions and to forestall an endless admission regime generated by the series of disruptions to daily life occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He expressed worry that only 30% of institutions had started admissions into the 2020/2021 academic session.
Professor Oloyede reiterated that the chosen deadlines remained sacrosanct and binding on all institutions as the board would not tolerate any breaches of the collective decision reached the meeting.

JAMB said it would not be a party to any improper transfer or breach of set guidelines adding that adequate measures or checks must be done to verify if such candidates meet minimum requirements or possess the prerequisite qualifications to be in the institution in the first instance.
He advised all institutions to adhere strictly to all advisories issued to them on inter/intra-university transfers, foreign inter-university transfers and fresh foreign candidates, change of programmes and institutions and other essential processes related to admission in order to avoid unnecessary bickerings that could endanger the future of innocent candidates and their subsequent mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.
JAMB registrar added that the board will soon announce date for the sale of application documents for the 2021/2022 academic session.
