The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Is-haq Oloyede, has warned universities that did not matriculate students in the last five years of risking not having their students called up for the one-year compulsory youth service.
This was contained in his remark during a 2-day refresher training for all its admission Desk Officers.

The Board had organized the training to sensitize Desk Officers on the significance of matriculation and matriculation list analysis.
Professor Oloyede disclosed that some tertiary institutions in the country have failed to matriculate any students in the last five years, yet they have been issuing certificates as well as graduating students.
“How can a school that never admitted any candidates continue to issue certificates and graduate students?” the Registrar asked.
He said a number of them got approval to operate no doubt, but they never bother following other requisite regulations thereafter, they just continue running the institutions their way.
He charged the participants to take the training seriously as they would be held responsible for not informing any erring institutions in writing that they did not admit and as such, would not graduate any students.
Professor Oloyede added that at the end of the year, Desk Officers will inform the erring school that had not admitted any students for the year and, as such any candidates who attend such schools do it at their own risk, as they will not be mobilized for the one-year compulsory national youths service.
