The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has advised parents and qualified candidates to speak up and protest any perceived admission bias, especially if they are confident in their Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scores. Registrar Ishaq Oloyede made this call amid growing complaints that some candidates with strong results are denied admission into their preferred institutions. 
Oloyede explained that candidates who believe they deserve admission should not remain silent, stressing that JAMB’s Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) was designed to ensure transparency and fairness in the process. He encouraged affected individuals to formally report or challenge such cases, noting that the system makes it easier to track and verify admissions without undue interference. 
The development highlights ongoing concerns about Nigeria’s admission system, where factors like quotas, institutional preferences, and human decisions can influence outcomes. JAMB maintained that while it continues to strengthen oversight and prevent malpractice, active participation from candidates and parents is key to ensuring accountability and fairness in tertiary admissions.
