We Will Not Leave Any UTME Candidate Out Of The Registration Process - JAMB Boss

By


The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has stated that no candidate would be left out of the registration process despite having a week before the end of the exercise.

He made this known during an interview with newsmen in Abuja
after inspecting some registration centres.

At the Digital Bridge Institute (one of the registration centres), Prof. Oloyede averted what could have turned out a major protest by moving over 100 candidates who were already agitating due to the slow pace of registration in the centre to other centres where there were less pressure.

The JAMB Boss ruled out the possibility of extending the registration deadline despite the challenges faced by the candidates.

According to him“About 871, 576 candidates have been registered as at today (Wednesday evening).

“We are going to 1,467,000 candidates. “What remains is 595,647 and we still have a whole week.

“No candidate will be left unattended to at the closing of this exercise.

“You do not want me to extend just for the sake of extension because I monitor on my screen.

“That is why there is a difference between the closing date for registration and the closing date for sale.

“By the time we sell, we will know how many that have bought but have not registered.”

When asked if how he would comply if summoned by the House Of Representatives, he said: “If I am invited, who am I not to answer them?

“I will honour their invitation because they are our employers.”

Selling of handout in Nigerian Universities not our Making says ASUU

By
The Academic Staff Union of Universities in Nigeria (ASUU) has expressed displeasure at the mandatory sale of handouts by some lecturers in tertiary institutions. Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, President of the union, expressed this view in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja. “It is not wise for lecturers in our tertiary institutions to compel students to be buying handouts, though it is not a widespread practice; we have few people that are misbehaving. “But the system has a way of handling them, so anywhere they see them they always put them on check. “It is not permitted in the system and there is a structure for tracking and dealing with that so ASUU as a union don’t condone it and we discourage it anywhere and everywhere we go,’’ he said. However, a cross section of Nigerian students had decried the rate at which some lecturers extort money from them in the name of selling of handouts. Speaking in separate interviews with NAN, students lamen...
