The Statement reads:
CALEB UNIVERSITY INCIDENT
JAMB has been alerted to the unauthorized restrictions imposed on candidates wearing hijabs, and swift action has been taken to address this unilateral decision, which has been categorically condemned by the Vice-Chancellor of the university.
This misguided action was the result of an overzealous security officer.
We extend our sincere apologies to the affected candidates and commend the leadership of both the centre and the university for their prompt intervention, which ensured that no candidate suffered undue disadvantage.
