EKO HOT BLOG reports that no fewer than 10,378 candidates, who wrote the Direct Entry examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in 2023, currently have their admission suspended following the failure of their A-level issuing institution to submit a verification report to JAMB.

In February 2023, JAMB issued an advisory to guide candidates seeking to gain admissions through Direct Entry in the 2023/2024 academic session.

Recently, JAMB advised the candidates to contact their former institutions as soon as possible to have their certificates verified, stressing that it would not accept students with unverified certificates.
