The suspension of admissions in Nigerian universities has led to the failure of the universities to process a total of 461,745 admissions, investigation by Saturday PUNCH has revealed.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board in the statistics provided for our correspondent, however, blamed the strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities for the development.
“Some institutions confirmed suspending the process because of the ASUU strike; ASUU strike is a factor; many institutions are yet to commence 2021 admissions despite repeated appeals,” JAMB noted in the document.
Meanwhile for the 2022/2023 admission, the board noted that a total of 1,649,310 candidates applied for university admission which hope is dangling.
