He said: “You will recall that the board started the 2023 Direct Entry registration on February 20, but had to suspend it, following the discovery of the plethora of devices and machinations to circumvent and compromise the standard of A’ Level qualifications required from DE candidates.

“Recall that recent joint operations of the Federal Ministry of Education and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) on DE qualifications brought to light some of these unsavoury and nefarious activities.

“Bayero University, Kano (BUK) has also consistently brought to the fore, the high rate of forgery of A’ Level qualifications for DE.

For instance, it was discovered that in previous years, some candidates used unacceptable and forged A’ Level certificates/qualifications to register for Direct Entry and eventually got admitted. For example, of 148 candidates verified by BUK, only six were found to be genuine. By implication 142 of the results were forged.JAMB Result
