An administrative staff at the University of Lagos has told SaharaReporters that some of the institution’s top officials were conniving with the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) to deny admission to a significant number of qualified applicants. According to the source, the university officials then corruptly sold admission slots to mediocre or unqualified candidates.
 
The source told SaharaReporters that several wards or children of the university’s staff were also affected by the scam as JAMB abruptly threw them to universities to which they never applied.
