This was revealed in a memo by the Jamb Admission Matriculation
Board ,JAMB.
According to JAMB’s Public Communications Advisor, Fabian Benjamin,
the initiative is one of the recommendations made by a committee set
up by the Federal Government to combat fake degree racketeering in
the country.
According to the memo, institutions are to regularly submit their
matriculation lists to the Federal Ministry of Education not later than
three months after matriculation ceremonies.
The list is expected to be submitted through the dedicated channel of
JAMB.
In a similar development, a memo addressed to the JAMB on July 15,
2024, the education ministry recaled that following the publication of
allegations of certificate racketeering involving some foreign
institutions, especially in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and other countries,
the ministry constituted an inter-ministerial committee to investigate
the allegations to find lasting solutions.
The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman then vowed to flush out
holders of fake degrees from the Nigerian educational system.
