Abuja, Nigeria – The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring that more than 700 students returning from war-torn Sudan are successfully admitted into Nigerian universities. This commitment was emphasized by JAMB Registrar, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, during a meeting with representatives of the Association of Concerned Parents of Nigerian Student Returnees from Sudan (ACPNSRS) in Abuja.

As the nation’s admission clearing house, JAMB is determined to take all necessary steps to facilitate the integration of these returnee students into the Nigerian education system, provided they meet the required qualifications. Professor Is-Oloyede urged the association to ensure that all affected students possess authentic certificates, as the board will not tolerate any fraudulent practices within the admission process.

The registrar assured the forum of JAMB’s unwavering support and expressed the management’s commitment to accommodating the returnees in universities of their choice. This initiative aims to provide these students with the opportunity to continue their education and rebuild their lives after the challenges they faced in Sudan.

By prioritizing the admission of these returnee students, JAMB demonstrates its dedication to inclusivity and the promotion of educational opportunities for all. The board’s efforts align with the government’s commitment to providing quality education and fostering national development.

As the process unfolds, JAMB will work closely with universities across the country to ensure a smooth transition for the returnee students. This collaborative approach will help create a supportive environment that enables these students to thrive academically and contribute to the growth and development of Nigeria.

With JAMB’s resolute commitment and the support of relevant stakeholders, the future looks promising for the returnee students from Sudan, as they embark on a new chapter in their educational journey within the Nigerian education system.
