Academic Fraud: JAMB Uncovers 585 Forged Certificates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has uncovered a staggering 585 forged A’Level certificates so far in 2025, signaling a deepening crisis of academic fraud in Nigeria’s tertiary admission process.

Grassroots Parrot reports that the revelation was made by the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, during a virtual meeting with JAMB staff, held in preparation for the 2025 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the main UTME.

In a bulletin released by the board on Monday, Oloyede said the fraudulent activities were uncovered through the Nigeria Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (NIPED), a platform established by JAMB to combat such irregularities.

“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has uncovered at least 585 A’Level forged certificates in 2025 alone. It was to curb this menace that the Nigeria Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (NIPED) was established,” he stated.

Among the forgeries detected were 13 fake Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) certificates, a credential that allows candidates to secure direct entry admission into Nigerian universities at the 200-level without sitting for the UTME.

Professor Oloyede revealed that four individuals linked to the forged IJMB certificates have already been arrested and are cooperating with law enforcement authorities in identifying the masterminds behind the operations.

“Out of the 13 cases being investigated by the police, four culprits have been apprehended and are currently assisting the police and relevant authorities towards apprehending the ring leaders of these examination cartels,” he said.

Further investigations by JAMB have revealed a more disturbing layer to the scandal—alleged involvement of insiders within academic institutions.

“Investigation revealed that there were internal collaborators in the institutions aiding and abetting this gross misconduct,” Oloyede added.

The JAMB registrar also voiced concern over ongoing reports of extortion at some accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres, where candidates are being charged for services meant to be free.

JAMB reaffirmed its commitment to sanitizing Nigeria’s tertiary education admissions system and warned that anyone found culpable—be it students, institutions, or facilitators—will face the full weight of the law.
