Admission infractions jamb to link caps with icpc prosecute defaulting institution
A very specific and technical topic!
Here's a breakdown of the issues you've raised:
Admission Infractions: In Nigeria, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and admitting students into tertiary institutions. Admission infractions refer to any irregularities or malpractices that occur during the admission process, such as:
- Multiple registrations
- Fake or forged documents
- Age falsification
- Sex falsification
- Impersonation
- Bribery or other forms of corruption
JAMB to link caps with ICPC: The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) is a federal agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption in Nigeria. JAMB has been mandated to link its admission processes with ICPC to prevent and detect admission infractions. This means that JAMB will share information with ICPC to identify and prosecute institutions or individuals involved in admission malpractices.
Prosecute defaulting institution: If an institution is found to have engaged in admission infractions, ICPC will prosecute the institution and its officials involved in the malpractices. This can lead to severe consequences, including:
- Revocation of the institution's license to operate
- Imposition of fines or penalties
- Suspension or dismissal of officials involved in the malpractices
- Public exposure and reputational damage
To prevent admission infractions, JAMB and ICPC have implemented various measures, including:
- Biometric verification of candidates and officials
- Online registration and admission processes
- Regular monitoring and surveillance of admission processes
- Collaboration with other regulatory agencies and law enforcement agencies
- Public awareness campaigns to educate candidates and institutions about the importance of ethical and transparent admission practices.
By linking caps with ICPC, JAMB aims to strengthen its efforts to prevent and detect admission infractions, ensuring a fair and transparent admission process for all candidates.
