Abeokuta, Nigeria – March 18, 2025 – The Rector of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, Arc. Dr. Babatunde Adekoyejo Jolaoso, has commended JAMB for its continuous innovations in managing Nigeria’s tertiary admission process.
Dr. Jolaoso made this statement during his first official visit to the Ogun State JAMB Office on March 10, 2025, where he acknowledged the transformative impact of JAMB’s technology-driven reforms since Professor Is-haq Oloyede assumed office as Registrar.
JAMB’s Support for MAPOLY Appreciated
During his visit, the MAPOLY Rector expressed gratitude for the strong working relationship between JAMB and the institution. He noted that JAMB’s continuous support has played a crucial role in streamlining the admission process, ensuring that deserving students gain access to higher education.
“We recognize the incredible work JAMB has done in improving admission processes through digital innovations. The institution remains committed to maintaining a close relationship with JAMB to ensure smooth and credible admissions,” Dr. Jolaoso stated.
He pledged to uphold all JAMB policies and work closely with the Admission Officer to ensure full compliance with JAMB’s guidelines.
JAMB Ogun State Coordinator Emphasizes CAPS Compliance
In response, the Ogun State Coordinator of JAMB, Mr. Hakeem AbdulHameed, emphasized the importance of ensuring all admission processes are strictly conducted through the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
He stated that JAMB expects every institution in Ogun State, including MAPOLY, to fully comply with admission advisories, warning that no candidate should be admitted outside of CAPS.
He further urged the Rector to prioritize the signing of Indemnity Forms, explaining that:
- Admission integrity is crucial for every institution.
- Unauthorized admissions will not be recognized by JAMB.
- Students admitted into Part-Time programs must be properly registered, regardless of their year of admission.
He also reminded the Rector that since 2021, JAMB has stopped accepting requests under the Condonement of Undisclosed Illegal Institutional Admission (CUIIA) window, meaning institutions can no longer push students into illegal admission pathways.
Furthermore, AbdulHameed clarified that while JAMB does not allow name changes, it does permit minor name corrections where necessary.
MAPOLY Pledges Commitment to JAMB’s Guidelines
The MAPOLY Rector reassured JAMB of his administration’s full compliance with all admission regulations and urged the Ogun State Coordinator to report any irregularities observed at MAPOLY directly to him.
“We want to ensure our institution maintains the highest standards in the admission process. Please do not hesitate to bring any concerns to my attention so we can address them immediately,” Dr. Jolaoso assured.
Accompanying the Rector on the visit were:
- Dr. Mrs. Yetunde Lanre-Iyanda (Deputy Rector)
- Mrs. Olubunmi Elewodalu (Registrar)
- Alhaja Basirat (Librarian)
- Other senior MAPOLY officials
JAMB and MAPOLY Strengthen Collaboration for Transparent Admissions
The visit reinforced MAPOLY’s commitment to working in partnership with JAMB to maintain transparency, credibility, and compliance with national admission policies.
With JAMB’s continued push for technology-driven reforms through CAPS and other innovations, institutions like MAPOLY must align with these policies to ensure a fair and standardized admission process for all candidates.
JAMB has reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy for underhand admissions and expects full cooperation from all tertiary institutions, including MAPOLY, to uphold the integrity of the admission system in Nigeria.
