- Basola Jamiu Owodunni, a student at Federal University of Technology Akure, has received clearance after being flagged as fake by JAMB.
- Alex Onyia, an education advocate, reported that Jamiu can now access his JAMB portal and is set to join the next NYSC batch.
Basola Jamiu Owodunni, a Civil Engineering graduate from the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), who was previously flagged by JAMB for allegedly having a fake admission, has now been officially cleared.
The development was confirmed by education advocate Alex Onyia, who revealed that Jamiu’s access to the JAMB portal has been restored. This clearance means he is now eligible to participate in the next batch of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.
Jamiu’s case drew public attention after it emerged that he had graduated with an impressive 4.41 CGPA despite JAMB having no record of his admission. His story highlighted a larger issue affecting thousands of Nigerian students.
According to Onyia, Jamiu is just one of over 4,000 students who were caught in similar admission verification issues but have now had their records successfully corrected and validated by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
He posted …
“I have an update regarding Basola Jamiu Owodunni, the FUTA civil engineer student whose admission was earlier marked as FAKE from JAMB after graduating with CGPA 4.41 in Civil Engineering.
The good news is that it has been resolved. He can now now access his JAMB portal and also he will be going for NYSC next batch.
In addition, 4000 plus more students with similar issues have been resolved.”

@donald_segun said: “This situation happened in the first place because someone refused to do his/her job. The student was humiliated and branded a criminal all because of the dereliction of duty of a lazy, incompetent civil servant.
The most irksome thing is we will never know the civil servant(s) responsible for the predicament of Basola and the other 4000 students who had the same problem. He will probably never be punished and the laziness inherent in staffs like that will continue to affect students in their thousands. This problem is enough to get the people involved sacked and prosecuted. Basola could have harmed himself if this was resolved.
Thank you for fighting for Basola and the rest of the affected students.”
