Adesina said that the over 1.6 million students were examined 76 subjects.

Meanwhile, the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned that heads and registrars of tertiary institutions will be sanctioned over illegal admission of candidates.

Also, candidates who accepted such illegal admission will be treated as accomplice of a criminal act.

JAMB announced this in a statement, saying it will henceforth enforce the directive of the education minister, Mallam Adamu Adamu, on the issue.

According to JAMB, candidates must only be admitted through its central admission processing system.

In 2021 alone, JAMB said it uncovered 700,000 of such illegal admission into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
