The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Sunday withdrew the list of recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to the tertiary institutions.

According to a statement by the Board, the move is to ensure that the University Senate perform its statutory responsibility of conducting the selection of candidates and refer it to JAMB for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states as directed by the Hon Minister of Education at the policy committee meeting, Fabian Benjamin, the organisation’s head of media, said in a statement sent to journalists.

According to the statement, the earlier list was sent to help fast track the process of admission so as to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their admission.

The board urged candidates not to panic because the move is part of the process of the 2016 admission exercise.

“The Board regrets any inconvenience it’s proactive step would have caused the tertiary,” the statement read.
