JAMB Registrar Applauds President Tinubu for Approving 67 New Higher Institutions Across Nigeria!
President Bola Tinubu has received praise for “approving 22 new universities, 33 new polytechnics and monotechnics, and 12 new colleges of education across the country between late 2024 and 2025,” according to Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
The approval of the 67 new universities, according to Oloyede, showed Tinubu’s “commitment to expanding access to tertiary education.”
According to a statement released on Monday, the main officers of the recently approved, improved, and newly created tertiary institutions in Abuja participated in an interactive session with the JAMB registrar.
All admissions must go through the Central Admissions Processing System and must follow due process, Oloyede said, sharply warning the schools against undertaking illicit admissions and stressing that there will be no tolerance for regularization of such entries.
“CAPS guarantees the admissions process’s integrity, impartiality, and transparency. Any school trying to get around this platform runs the risk of having their admissions revoked, Oloyede stated.
More than 80 recently approved federal government institutions, including colleges of education, universities, polytechnics, and monotechnics, were instructed by the registrar to adhere completely to the standardized admissions standards.
He clarified that the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System, which was adopted in 2018, improves communication and guarantees unambiguous eligibility checks for academic programs, while CAPS, which was introduced in 2017, automates and streamlines admission processes.
JAMB’s only official avenues of communication with institutions are these platforms, which have been enhanced with institutional mail services.
However, Oloyede made it clear that the JAMB platforms would only activate academic programs that have been approved by the National Universities Commission, National Board for Technical Education, and National Commission for Colleges of Education.
“Institutional compliance cannot be compromised. There will be no room for admittance through the back entrance. Institutions are required to select specific officials to oversee their access to IBASS and CAPS. Shortcuts are not acceptable, but JAMB will offer technical support,” he cautioned.
To instruct institutions on the correct operational processes, the meeting included a live demonstration of the CAPS and IBASS platforms.
Prof. William Qurix, the vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia, also spoke and praised the interaction, calling it enlightening.
He pointed out that the discussion had shed light on the difficulties faced by recently accredited schools, especially those that had a large number of applicants who had already enrolled for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
We have finally received approval for this process, and JAMB has promised to provide us with timely assistance through CAPS and IBASS. The impact of this session will be extensive,” he continued.
