All admissions into the nation’s tertiary institutions for the 2020/2021 academic session will end by June 15, 2021.
The decision was collectively taken at a virtual meeting with heads of tertiary institutions in the country on Wednesday, February 24, 2021.
In his remarks during the event, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, said the meeting was aimed at knowing the level they had reached on the 2020/21 admissions scale.
Oloyede, who said only 30 per cent of institutions had started admissions into the 2020/2021 academic session, added that the essence of the interactive meeting was to forestall an endless admission regime generated by the series of disruptions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic. (ThisDay)
