The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has discovered 3,000 Nigerian fake graduates.
Prof Ishaq Oloyede, JAMB Registrar, made the announcement at a meeting with a delegation from the Committee of Pro Chancellors of State Universities in Nigeria, COPSUN, in Abuja.
In the meeting’s details, which were published in the board’s bulletin, Oloyede also blasted the illicit admissions procedure at various colleges across the country.

He said:
“Some ‘graduates’ had never entered the four walls of a university owing to the endemic corruption in the system but the board had documented over 3,000 of such cases.
“Illegal admission of candidates into tertiary institutions is an embarrassment and a disservice to the nation.”
Earlier, the testing authority urged candidates not to accept admissions without complete academic engagement.
Recall that in December 2023, the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education directed JAMB to produce a list of tertiary schools that have performed improper admissions.
