The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) yesterday said it has withdrawn the list of
recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to the
tertiary institutions.
In a statement issued in Abuja and signed by Head of
Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, he said the withdrawal is to
ensure the university senate perform its statutory
responsibility.
The statement reads ; "This is 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.
"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 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".
