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.

matriculation lists to the Federal Ministry of Education not later than
three months after matriculation ceremonies.

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.
