Public Urged to Be Wary of Misleading Information from Unverified Sources, JAMB Clarifies

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has called on the public to exercise caution when encountering information related to the board. The warning specifically targets misleading details that originate from sources not directly linked to JAMB, including religious institutions.

JAMB expressed concern over comments made by certain functionaries from private institutions. These individuals have allegedly linked the board to the prevailing low ‘cut-off marks.’

However, JAMB clarifies that it was these very private institutions that submitted lower minimum admissible scores than other institutions. The process of determining minimum admissible scores involves individual institutions presenting their proposals, followed by a collective debate among all Heads of Institutions during the annual Policy Meeting on Admissions. The resulting benchmark is agreed upon by consensus, and no institution is allowed to compromise it.

Additionally, JAMB urges religious organizations to stay within their primary roles and avoid venturing into areas beyond their calling. Reports have surfaced of some religious institutions making false representations to the government at various levels for selfish purposes. The board emphasizes that religious bodies should focus on their core functions rather than engaging in activities unrelated to their mission.

Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB Principal Consultant and Adviser (PCA), signed the statement, reaffirming the board’s commitment to transparency and accuracy in its communication. As the admission process continues, JAMB encourages the public to rely on verified information directly from the board and to be cautious of misleading claims from unverified sources.
