“We
know that we have abused the process. What we have been doing is to
send N5,000 each to JAMB in the name of regularisation without capturing
their picture, without capturing anything. You pay N5,000 and then they
are regularised.

Prof.
Oloyede said: “Scoring higher than the cut-off mark does not guarantee

is why you can go from here to UK, you can go to Ghana, Uganda,
Republic of Benin, nobody ask you of your UTME, they ask for your O
level because by law it is the school cert that qualifies you not JAMB,”
he said.
