The Nigerian Federal Government has announced plans to revoke the licenses of tertiary institutions found engaging in illegal admissions practices. This decision follows reports of widespread irregularities in the admission processes of some universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, including admitting unqualified candidates and bypassing JAMB regulations. The Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman, stated that the government is committed to sanitizing the education sector and ensuring compliance with established guidelines. Institutions found guilty will face severe penalties, including suspension of operations. The government has also urged parents and students to verify the accreditation status of institutions before enrollment to avoid falling victim to fraudulent practices.
