Nigerian Education System Battles Admission Racketeering Menace

The article highlights the persistent issue of admission racketeering in Nigerian schools, despite digital reforms by JAMB. Fraudulent individuals exploit the desperation of students and parents by selling manipulated admission slots.

JAMB warns against engaging with unauthorized agents and emphasizes the need for stronger institutional accountability. Parents are urged to verify the admission process online through JAMB's central system (CAP) to prevent falling prey to fraudsters.
