Adeniyi shared his thoughts when he paid a courtesy visit to the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, in his office in Bwari, Abuja.
He noted that such youths could be exposed to post-secondary school skills acquisition programmes before their admission into universities.
Furthermore, Adeniyi commended JAMB for its stance concerning its test administration practices, pointing out that the development was capable of contributing to the integrity of certificates awarded through such a process.
According to him, only the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria ( ICAN) is comparable to the board’s administered UTME.
Oloyede made the remark recently when he hosted the delegation of the committee of pro-chancellors of state universities in Nigeria (COPSUN) in his office, at the national headquarters, Bwari, Abuja.
He, therefore, charged COPSUN to clamp down on underhand admissions, which are not only detrimental to the system but also damaging to the country’s image.>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
