Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB says it has been inundated with accusations of dereliction regarding the purported admission of candidates into the Law Faculty of Lead City University despite its suspension for five years.
A statement by JAMB’s
Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin states that the said admissions were not conducted through the Board’s Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, the only platform approved for the processing of admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Consequently, such admissions are void as they are unknown to JAMB.
The statement adds that the institution is not authorised to admit candidates into the programme until the expiration of the five-year suspension.
JAMB argues that the development once again underscores the importance of heeding the its repeated and unequivocal advice to candidates not to accept any offer of admission outside CAPS as admission that is not processed and approved on CAPS is fake.
JAMB insists that candidates admitted through such irregular means have no legitimate claim as they are considered complicit, while advising prospective candidates, in their own interest, not to accept any admission not processed through CAPS.
It said candidates who have been offered admission outside CAPS are therefore advised to disregard such offers and commence the process of obtaining the next UTME application in order to sit for the examination and pursue legitimate admission through the appropriate channels.
