WOOW!! See The Reason Why JAMB Mock Exam Is Being Postponed.

Following the postponement of April 8 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination mock examination by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Examinations, JAMB,
the Nigerian Education Integrity Group (NEIG), says there were “invisible hands and powerful forces” desperately working to frustrate the positive reforms being put in place by the Registrar of the joint Admission and Matriculation Board,Prof Is-haq Oloyede.
The group said the “forces” caused the shift and callled on Nigerians to rise up against them.
This is contained in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Sunday by NEIG Director of Operations, Dr. Obafemi Amzat and Legal Adviser, Ms. Elizabeth Coker.
The group said: “Oloyede has challenged anybody that cares to investigate the resources in JAMB and compare with the services that are on going.
“Staff have also complained of his blockage of all loopholes through which they use to survive. However, some staff said they like the way the funds of JAMB are being managed”, the NEIG stressed.
“For example, information gathered from our investigation showed that some service providers who were paid over N1 billion for certain services are now offering the same services for N50 million or less.
“We were reliably informed that Oloyede had told all the service providers that what they are being paid is far above the services they are rendering and, as such, he will not sustain such mindless wastages.
“The JAMB Registrar said he is not going to change any of the service providers as he does not know any contractor or have one as a friend, but will not pay what he knows is not fair to government and the nation.
“Before the management and other stakeholders, he told all contractors and service providers to charge fair prices as nobody will ask them for kick backs as long as he remains the Registrar. This was his offence.
“This, we gathered, was the beginning of the fight as the interest groups are bent on ensuring that he does not succeed in JAMB. They want to return to the era of piling the board’s resources.”
Amzat said findings from the Finance Department of JAMB, revealed that before the commencement of sale, its Treasury Single Account reflected billions unlike in the past when at such periods, the board would have being borrowing money from commercial banks to render essential services.
