Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has cautioned tertiary institutions against backdoor admissions.
The Registrar, who was represented by the Akwa State Coordinator, Mrs. Grace Olima-Williams, gave the admonition at the 3rd Registry Distinguished Lecture at the Akwa Ibom State University held recently at the Main Auditorium of the University.
In his goodwill message, the Oloyede urged the university to avail itself of the provisions of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) in conducting its admissions.
He said CAPS is an automated platform for conducting seamless, transparent and credible admissions as it gives the institutions autonomy while providing other stakeholders opportunity to monitor the process.
The Registrar congratulated the university on its achievements in the past few years while advising it against any act that could undermine the integrity of the institution.
Earlier, Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Nse U. Essien, and the Registrar, Dr. Ebi Eno-lbanga, in their presentations, stated that the event was carefully put together to recognise and honour the achievements of the institution in the past few years as well as enlighten and broaden the horizon of every participant, especially the Registry staff, on the modern trends in the management of universities.
