The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has received commendation for its streamlined process of result verification, prompting a petition recommending its adoption to the House of Assembly. This system, whereby candidates do not directly present their results to institutions but rely on results sent by JAMB, is seen as a model to combat result falsification and should be emulated by employers of labor.

The petition, submitted by concerned stakeholders, lauds JAMB's approach as a significant step in ensuring the authenticity of academic credentials presented by candidates. It urges legislative consideration to mandate employers to verify academic results through issuing authorities to curb instances of falsification.
In a statement accompanying the petition, it was emphasized that the public should exercise due diligence in verifying academic qualifications presented by individuals seeking opportunities or patronage. This proactive approach, it is argued, will promote integrity and meritocracy in various sectors, thereby safeguarding against potential fraud and misrepresentation.
"The system adopted by JAMB through which candidates do not present their results directly to their chosen institutions but had to rely on the results JAMB had earlier sent to their chosen institutions, is commendable and should be emulated by employers of labour to reduce falsification of results."

"Members of the public should always verify results through the issuing authorities when in doubt of what is presented to them by candidates seeking patronage of any kind."
