![]() The JAMB boss had called for understanding on the introduction of new measures to conduct the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). He disclosed that ‘Nigeria Post-secondary Education Data System’ is the new name of the data bank set up to address issues around A-level qualifications. Oloyede, however, directed the 127 candidates who had earlier registered for the 2023 DE before it was suspended to return to the registration centres and update their applications as would be requested of them. “Others are Interim Joint Matriculation Board A’ Level, Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board A’ Level, NABTEB Advanced National Business Certificate, NABTEB Advanced National Technical Certificate, NABTEB GCE-A’ Level (2015 – 2021), Higher Islamic Studies Certificate by NBAIS, International Baccalaureate and the National Registered Nurse /National Registered Midwife,” he added. The Registrar further stated that the board would henceforth accept only 13 qualifications/certificates for the 2023 Direct Entry registration, which are first degree, university diploma, Higher National Diploma, Ordinary National Diploma /National Diploma and Nigeria Certificate in Education. “The Board, concerned stakeholders and institutions are working assiduously to detect such and the ones already found are being dealt with according to the provisions of the law.” ![]() By implication, 142 of the results were forged. For example, out of 148 candidates verified by BUK, only six were found to be genuine. ![]() “For instance, it was discovered that in previous years, some candidates used unacceptable and forged A’ level certificates/qualifications to register for Direct Entry and eventually got admitted. “Bayero University, Kano has also consistently brought to the fore the high rate of forgery of A’ Level qualifications for DE. “Recall that recent joint operations of the Federal Ministry of Education and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on DE qualifications brought to light some of these unsavoury and nefarious activities.
