JAMB underscored the urgency for candidates to reach out to their former institutions promptly to facilitate the verification of their certificates. The Board emphasized its commitment to exclude candidates from non-responsive institutions from consideration for admissions in the upcoming academic session.

The official communication was conveyed through a statement released on JAMB’s official handle. It highlighted the Board’s efforts in reaching out to all tertiary institutions responsible for issuing the certificates.

While many institutions have responded positively, others have shown a lackadaisical approach.

The statement reads, “This is to inform all A-Level candidates that applied for the 2023 admissions through Direct Entry (DE) to contact their former institutions for prompt verification of their certificates.

“To expedite the verification process, the Board, on its part, has written to all tertiary institutions that issued the certificates, and a significant number of them have responded positively, while others have been lackadaisical.

“You are to hereby note that the Board would not process any DE admission without certificate verification and that admission process for the academic year would soon be concluded.

“As such, the Board would not consider all affected students of non-responsive institutions for admissions for the academic year.”
