The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned universities and other degree-awarding institutions in the country to adherence strictly to rules and regulations governing admission process.

It vowed to put an end to what it described as a "regime of admissions regularization" in degree-awarding institutions.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, made the position known in a statement signed by the Board's Head of Information, Fabian Benjamin.

To ensure the success of the initiative, Ojerinde, who spoke during the conduct of the Computer Based Test (CBT), said that the Board had earlier met with the committee of Vice-Chancellors (VCs) in Abuja where it was agreed that the respective varsity heads would, henceforth, submit lists of all matriculating students to the Board.

He also reminded the VCs of the decision reached after a similar tripartite meeting held among JAMB, National Universities Commission (NUC) and the VCs.

Details of the lists, according to the JAMB boss, include students' course of study, the university/institution of choice, matriculation number and other relevant data.

The move, it was stressed, would enable the admission regulatory body "to compile final matriculated students' album for 2012 on

No one needs to tell them all that. They should know they have to follow the rules but corruption won't allow them. I hope they comply this time.
