Oloyede stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the ongoing policy meeting on 2023/2024 admissions.
The policy meeting, which has heads of tertiary institutions in the country, and other stakeholders, sets the tone for admissions into tertiary institutions in the country.
He said the Board has been able to regularise 600 of the numbers admitted illegally.
