JAMB registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede Clarifies Matter On forced Admission

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede had all this to say to members of the press while visiting one of the JAMB’s zonal office. He said,”I know many of you are bothered and you want to hear from me about the admission.

”There is no stalemate; independence of the academic boards or the Senate of the respective institutions remain sacrosanct, they should determine their criteria, following the directives of the Federal Executive Council to all Federal universities about what should be merit, catchment areas, educationally-disadvantaged states and other things”

He added that ”Every Senate and academic board should determine its own admission policy, we must be fair to all; we must be federal in our attitude; we must be equitable in whatever we do. We must not extort the students.

“We must not exploit the masses of this nation; every other thing remains; that is the position of JAMB.”
