The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has regularized the admissions of 4,845 candidates, including Jamiu Basola, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology (FUTA), who had been unable to register for the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC) due to issues with his admission status.

Basola’s admission was flagged as “fake” on the JAMB matriculation list, despite his efforts to resolve the issue by presenting supporting documents. He acknowledged failing to print his original JAMB result slip, which may have contributed to the issue.

According to JAMB, the board received over 17,000 admission complaints nationwide and reviewed them. It cleared 6,908 candidates last month, determined 5,669 cases as outright fraud, and some cases are under investigation or prosecution

The board introduced the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) in 2017 to simplify admission processes. Admissions offered outside of CAPS are considered undisclosed or illegal admissions. While JAMB previously helped universities regularize admissions conducted outside CAPS, it no longer does so for admissions offered outside of CAPS since 2020.

The regularization of admissions for the 4,845 candidates, including Basola and 12 others from various institutions, is expected to enable them to proceed with their NYSC registration. The affected institutions include Bayero University Kano, University of Ilorin, Ekiti State University, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ben Idahosa University, Obong University, Yaba College of Technology, Osun State Polytechnic, and Ramat Polytechnic, Maiduguri
