"Following leadership changes at the Registrar level, JAMB has reiterated its commitment to transparency and process optimization for the 2026 session."
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has undergone recent leadership adjustments aimed at strengthening its administrative oversight and ensuring the seamless conduct of the 2026 admission exercise. With the Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, leading the charge on policy reforms, the Board has intensified its efforts to curb exam malpractice and ensure that admission processes are digitized and secure. These administrative changes come at a crucial time as the Board transitions from the examination phase to the admission placement phase.
The new team is focused on enhancing the capacity of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to handle the surge of traffic from applicants and institutions. This initiative is part of a larger plan to ensure that every student's admission status is tracked from start to finish. Furthermore, the Registrar has continued to engage with education stakeholders, including university provosts and TETFUND officials, to ensure that the academic calendar remains stable throughout the 2026/2027 session.
As the Board moves forward, the primary goal remains the maintenance of international standards in the conduct of public examinations. Stakeholders are encouraged to support these reform efforts by ensuring that their institutions strictly adhere to the guidelines set out by the Federal Government and the Board. Any concerns regarding the recent restructuring or operational changes can be directed to the official JAMB helpdesk, which remains open for public inquiries and candidate support.
