JAMB emphasized that such offers may not be recognized as valid and could put candidates' academic journeys at risk. The board urged prospective students to verify their admission status through CAPS before accepting any offer, stating that accepting an offer from an institution outside the approved process could lead to complications with admission records and related processes.",
