The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has denounced claims that it is involved in the admissions for higher national diploma (HND) students.
A statement released on Tuesday in Abuja by the board’s spokesman Fabian Benjamin said JAMB had no involvement, authority, or control over the admissions process for HND candidates.
The statement also said JAMB was not responsible for other higher institutions’ programmes, besides their regular admissions.
It explained that candidates’ HND admissions were unknown and irrelevant to the board’s mandate.
Some HND students had accused the board of being responsible for their inability to go for their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
The students were said to have claimed they were not mobilised for service because they did part-time programmes for their national diploma (ND).
