The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has flagged 9,469 fake admissions conducted outside its Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), across 20 Nigerian tertiary institutions for the 2024 academic session.
Kano State University of Science and Technology topped the list with 2,215 cases, followed by Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (1,215), Gombe State University (1,164), and Emmanuel Alayande University of Education (761).
JAMB warned that all admissions outside CAPS are illegal.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, said such violations will attract sanctions, including prosecution and disqualification from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The warning was issued at JAMB’s 2025 policy meeting in Abuja.
