The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) alongside the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) will collectively oversee the implementation of this policy directive across tertiary institutions.
