JAMB, in her bulletin, noted that there was a ploy by three unnamed public universities to lure innocent and more qualified candidates from their preferred programmes so that they could accept other programmes.

The board noted that such admission offers were illegal and would not be recognized by the board.

It said any candidate who accepts such offer of admission does so at his or her own risk as there will be no regularization of any irregular or condonment of illegal admission.

Although JAMB did not disclose the names of the three universities, it put a photograph of the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, in the warning.

The board noted that appropriate caution had been given to these universities desist. JAMB added that any such act will henceforth be visited with appropriate sanctions.
