THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has forwarded provisional admission list for 2016/17 admission year to tertiary institutions.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, in a statement in Abuja, yesterday, explained that the latest list sent to all the tertiary institutions contains names of candidates who qualified for screening based on the individual institutions’ capacity.
“It’s not in any way an admission list,” he warned.
He, however, advised institutions to source from the omnibus printout earlier sent to them by the board, in the event that the list is not sufficient for the need of the institution. The candid intention of the board is to ensure that available spaces are adequately utilised,” he said.
Prof Ojerinde, thus, reminded the public and all tertiary institutions that admission would only be approved by the board after appropriate screening of the candidates by the institutions.
