JAMB Registrar lauds FG over probe of fake universities, certificates

Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has commended the moves by the Federal Government to investigate the fake universities and certificates being awarded to Nigerians.

Oloyede gave the commendation in an interview with the newsmen in Ibadan on Friday.

He said that though the state of education in the country was not good enough, it had been improving and would continue to improve.

“I think the honourable minister (of education) is doing the right thing. In Nigeria, at times, when we run into one small problem, the solutions could be more disastrous.

“He has done the right thing by constituting a committee to look into the problem and recommend ways out.

“The committee will come up with facts and we can now work on those facts,” Oloyede said.

The JAMB registrar said while he believed that education was improving, everybody must do his/her part to make the sector greater.

He stated that JAMB would stabilise some of the innovations that were employed on the quality of the works of the body.

“We will also ensure that our services are better delivered,” he said.
