OVER ONE MILLION STUDENTS ADMITTED ILLEGALLY BY TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS – JAMB

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has disclosed that over one million students were illegally admitted by some tertiary institutions in the country.

He made the revelation at the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions in Abuja on Thursday.

Oloyede stated that the Board has been able to regularize the admissions of about 600 of these students. However, he lamented that many of the students admitted illegally lack the basic qualifications for the courses they registered to study.“Over one million students were admitted illegally. We have regularized about 600 of them because many of them don’t have the basic qualifications,” Oloyede said.

    BOKO HARAM KILLS 40 FARMERS IN BORNO, DOZENS MISSING Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have reportedly killed at least 40 farmers in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. It was gathered that the attack which happened around 4:30pm on Sunday in a farming community, Kayakura village, in Doron Baga ward, also left dozens of farmers missing. This is coming barely 24 hours after two people were killed and a church was set ablaze in a similar attack on Chibok community, southern part of the state. A local source said members of the deadly group invaded the villages in large numbers and started shooting sporadically. “As we speak, many people are missing and they killed more than 40 farmers, predominantly those who escaped the attack in Gwoza local government area,” he said. However, a security source in the area gave the number of people killed as 30. “Thirty people lost their lives during the attack on the farmers in the Doron Baga ward,” the source said. Efforts to speak to the state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso, proved abortive as his telephone line was not reachable as of press time.

This ruling is a major setback for the party, which has been embroiled in internal conflicts and power struggles. FCT Minister, Nyesom WikeThe court’s decision is a result of a dispute over the legitimacy of the congresses, which were conducted by the Wike-led faction of the party. The nullification of these congresses raises questions about the validity of the party’s leadership structure and the potential implications for future elections. This development is not isolated, as the Rivers State High Court had previously invalidated the Local Government and State Congresses conducted by the Tony Okocha-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State. The APC congresses were held despite a court order, leading to the inauguration of new executives. The nullification of the PDP congresses in Rivers State is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the party and its leadership. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the party will respond to this ruling and what implications it will have for future elections.
