Some Nigerian tertiary institutions have apologised to JAMB for violating admission guidelines by failing to upload their matriculation lists, despite admitting students through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
At a meeting held on August 18, 2025, JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, described the act as unacceptable and warned that any admission not on the National Matriculation List is illegitimate and could lead to legal issues for the schools.
The affected institutions agreed to submit apology letters within 24 hours and upload pending matriculation lists within seven days, while JAMB stressed that affiliate schools must operate under strict supervision.
The Board, however, assured that it would find ways to protect innocent students from being punished for their institutions’ negligence.
