The Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, gave the order in a statement on Friday.

“The registrar said it has been discovered that the parents/guardians are always a distraction to both candidates and the centres and at the same time, congesting the halls by not following the COVID – 19 protocols,” Oloyede was quoted as saying.
The JAMB head further urged parents/guardians to stop pushing the education of their wards faster than necessary.
“For example, a 14 or 15-year-old is not matured enough to undergo the process of registration and university pressure and are vulnerable to exploitation by scammers out there,” Oloyede also said.
