THE
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has denied a newspaper
report (not the Nigerian Tribune) that it has released 2012 admissions
cut-off mark.
Contrary to the alleged report, the board said it had concluded
arrangements for hosting the national policy meeting on Monday, May 21,
to decide the cut-off points and other admission issues.
JAMB Public Relations Officer, Mr Timothy Oyedeji, in a statement in
Abuja, on Wednesday, said the policy meeting would be chaired by the
Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i, with vice
chancellors, provost, rectors and other critical stakeholders in
attendance.
Reacting to the said publication on behalf of the Registrar and Chief
Exe-cutive of JAMB, Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde, Mr Oyedeji said there was
no iota of truth in the report and urged the public to ignore any such
reports.
Oyedeji said the board was compelled to refute the publication
because it would “send wrong signals to some of our stakeholders at this
time; hence we insist that your report is rather specu-lative and
unfortunate, more so that the crucial policy meeting that would decide
on this is just by the corner.”
