The Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee on Ejikeme Mmesoma, Soli Sada, has commended the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, for the technological innovations deployed by the board for the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
This was contained in a statement by the Board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
He said Sada gave the commendation when the ad hoc committee visited JAMB headquarters.
The committee also applauded the exam body for fortifying its operations against criminal infiltration.
He also congratulated the board for generating enough revenue for the federation account, stating that JAMB was one of the public institutions with quality governance.
“This is one of the institutions that demonstrated the quality of Nigerians that we have in the public sector governance of this country.
“What we have seen today in JAMB is a testimony of the quality of public officers that are there and how they are disciplined. No wonder JAMB is generating good revenue for the federation account.
We, as an institution of the parliament, have come, we have seen, and we will definitely go back with a report to the parliament and see how we can strengthen the capacity of JAMB so that they will continue to provide quality services to the country,” Sada said.
Also speaking, Oloyede told the committee that from the Situation Room, the board can communicate with all the states and also relate to the candidates during the examinations.
“From my office, I monitor all the centres, the accreditation of CBT centres, registration, and admissions to over 1000 higher institutions,” he said.
