Kenya and Uganda Examination boards have formally asked Nigerian to verify the academic records of Nigerian candidates seeking admission into their tertiary institutions.

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) disclosed this on Tuesday in a document prepared for the 2024 policy meeting, as reported by Punch.

The request from these countries comes in response to Nigeria’s recent decision to suspend the verification of degrees obtained from Uganda, Kenya, Benin Republic, and other countries due to rising concerns over the prevalence of fake degrees.

Th statement reads, “Uganda and Kenya examination boards are now writing to JAMB to confirm records presented by candidates for admission of candidates. JAMB would not falsify record.”

JAMB has reminded all tertiary institutions in Nigeria of the requirement to disclose any candidates admitted outside the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) before the August 31st, 2024 deadline.
