The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has retracted the list of
recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to the tertiary institutions,
reports ITRealms.
Head of Media at JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin confirmed
this to ITRealms, saying that the retraction was to ensure that the University Senate perform its
statutory responsibility of conducting the selection of candidates and refer it
to JAMB for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit,
catchment and educationally disadvantaged states as directed by the Hon
Minister of Education at the policy committee meeting.
ITRealms gathered that the earlier list was sent to help fast track the process of
admission so as to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their
admission.
Candidates,
he said, should not panic because this is part of the process of the 2016
admission exercise.
“JAMB
regrets any inconvenience this decision would have caused the tertiary
institutions. The Board regrets any inconvenience it's proactive step would
have caused the tertiary institutions,” he said.
