Information reaching us at Greenbarge Reporters online newspaper has indicated that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has blocked one Basola Jamiu Owodunni from proceeding to serve the nation through the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
Basola Jamiu Owodunni was said to have sat for and wrote JAMB in 2017 and got admitted to the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) to study Civil Engineering.
He was believed to have spent over five years in the school and graduated in 2024 with a CGPA of 4.41 (first class).
It was gathered that after he finished his exams, defended his project and completed his school’s clearance, JAMB suddenly described his admission in 2017 as “fake.”
JAMB is said to have blocked him from its portal, refusing to mobilize him for the
NYSC.
It was gathered that the first class graduating student has already been handed over to the security agents, including the Directorate of State Service (DSS).
It was learnt that all these have been happening despite the fact that FUTA had checked and confirmed that the name of the student is on JAMB CAPS.
It was gathered that not even confirmation by the university Vice Chancellor could make JAMB to change its mind, “insisting that his admission is not valid.”
It is learnt that Basola has no parents and has no one to fight for him to get justice.
He said that he had gone to JAMB office, Public Complaint Commission, Brekete Family FM radio, in addition to many letters that had been written to JAMB but that nothing has changed.
Efforts by our Reporters to speak to JAMB’s management did not yield positive results. The JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin did not respond to Whatsapp messages that were sent to him.
